The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack adds fast thumbnail and preview support to Microsoft Windows for many image formats, including RAW formats from more than 580 digital cameras, Photoshop PSD, OpenEXR, TGA, DDS, HDR, Maya IFF, SGI RGB, JPEG 2000 and more!

FastPictureViewer WIC Codec Pack is a set of 64-bit and 32-bit codecs that will enable your PC to support more than 45 image formats, including RAW formats for almost 580 digital camera brands and types. The codec pack contains a plugin for decoding H.264 MVC 3D Video. To properly watch such videos you should use the included MPC-HC player (64-bit version) and select Madvr as the video renderer. Outputting 3D video to your monitor/TV requires Windows 8.x/10 (or Windows 7 with a modern NVIDIA GPU).

The Codec Pack is compatible with Windows 10 Desktop, Windows 8.x Desktop, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP SP3 and also creates thumbnails for Google SketchUp, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, EPS and Adobe PDF-XMP.

See full list below.

Due to technical limitations currently imposed by Microsoft for their WinRT platform, the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack decoders are not exposed to “Metro” aka “Modern” aka “Windows Store” applications at this time, as they elected to block non-Microsoft codecs for those apps.

Features of FastPictureViewer Codec Pack

Superior performance, rock-solid stability
• The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack far outperforms competing codecs, starting from existing manufacturer codecs or codecs supplied by Adobe or Microsoft, making near-instant large size previewing a reality for most popular raw formats, with rock-solid stability. In fact, the Microsoft team behind the Image Composite Editor panorama stitcher lists the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack as “tested and recommended”. The Codec Pack is in use in the largest game studios in the world, including Electronic Arts and Sony Online Entertainment.

Broadest compatibility
• The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack is second to none regarding Windows compatibility, from XP SP3 to Vista to Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows 10, including 64 bit editions, as well as for timely camera model support (more than 580 digital camera models including the latest and greatest from 15 top manufacturers, updated several times a year).

Extensive formats support
• The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack goes beyond raw formats by supporting Adobe Photoshop® PSD and Adobe Lightroom® previews, as well as a wide selection of image formats popular amongst graphic artists and in the Computer Graphics industry, plus some unique specialties like 2D previewing of images taken with 3D cameras e.g. Fuji FinePix Real 3D W1/W3 (MPO), or JPEG-Stereo (JPS) images.

Best feature set
• The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack includes a faster JPEG codec that performs automatic rotation of thumbnails and previews in Windows Explorer, according to EXIF information. We make Windows “EXIF orientation-aware”. Our codecs expose all of the metadata contained in most raw formats, including color-space information as well as any embedded IPTC/XMP metadata, in addition to the full EXIF data. Finally, all our components are optional and can be opted-out during setup.

A codec — the term is a mashup of the words codeand decode — is a computer program that uses compression to shrink a large movie file or convert between analog and digital sound. You might see the word used when talking about audio codecs or video codecs.

Why Codecs Are Necessary

Windows 7 Codec Pack

Video and music files are huge, which means they are usually difficult to transfer over the internet. To speed up downloads, mathematical codecs were built to encode, or shrink, a signal for transmission and then decode it for viewing or editing. Without codecs, downloads of video and audio would take three to five times longer than they do now.

How Many Codecs Do I Need?

There are hundreds of codecs in use on the internet, and you will need combinations that specifically play your files.

There are codecs for audio and video compression, for streaming media over the internet, speech, video conferencing, playing MP3s, and screen capture.

To make matters more confusing, some people who share their files on the web choose to use obscure codecs to shrink their files. This frustrates users who download these files but don't know which codecs to use to play them.

If you're a regular downloader, you'll probably need 10 to 12 codecs to play all the different types of music and movies you have.

Common Codecs

Some common codecs are MP3, WMA, RealVideo, RealAudio, DivX, and XviD, but there are many others.

AVI is a common file extension you see attached to lots of video files, but it is not in itself a codec. Instead, it is a container format that many different codecs can use. Hundreds of codecs are compatible with AVI content, so it can be confusing which codecs you need to play your video files.

How Do I Know Which Codec to Download and Install?

Because there are so many codec choices, codec packs are a convenient option. Codec packs are collections of codecs gathered into single files. There is debate over whether it is necessary to have a large group of codec files, but it certainly is the easiest and least frustrating option for new downloaders.

Here are the codec packs you are the most likely to need:

• CCCP(Combined Community Codec Pack) is one of the most comprehensive codec packages you can download. CCCP was put together by users who like to share and watch movies online, and the codecs it contains are designed for 99 percent of the video formats you experience as a P2P downloader. Consider CCCP if you think your computer needs updated codecs.
• X Codec Pack is a sleek, all-in-one, spyware-free and adware-free codec collection that isn't a huge size, so it doesn't take long to download. X Codec Pack is one of the most complete assemblies of codecs needed to play all major audio and video formats.
• K-Lite Codec Packis well-tested and loaded with goodies. It lets you play all the popular movie formats. K-Lite comes in four flavors: Basic, Standard, Full, and Mega. If all you need is play are DivX and XviD formats, Basic does just fine. Standard pack is the most popular. It has everything an average user needs to play the most common file formats. Full pack, designed for power users, has even more codecs in addition to encoding support.

• K-Lite Mega Codec Pack is a comprehensive bundle. It has everything but a kitchen sink. Mega even contains Media Player Classic.

​If you use Windows Media Player, it often tries to communicate to you the 4-character code of the specific codec it needs. Note this code and then visit FOURCC to obtain the missing codec. FOURCC's Samples page has some FAQs if you need more information on what's offered there.

Another option for getting codecs is to download media players that include them. Sometimes, a video or audio player installs important and common codecs when you first install the application. VLC is a great free media player that can play all sorts of file types.
