How do you view GIF on Mac?

Hey, I just got my new iPhone and really excited about that! I love Apple's products, and planning to buy a Mac in July.

But I searched the internet and found that the default image viewer for mac Preview just can't support viewing gif... I love to make gif and love ti view them.

Is there any photo viewer for mac that suppotr viewing gif in a convenient way?


If there's no such software, then I'd really stay with my old pc.....


Thanks in advance,

Mac Pro

Select the file (don't open it, just select it) and hit Command+Y. You can only open one at a time. Use tab to cycle through your various files. You can adjust the image size by dragging the corner. Note, all windows will remain that size while cycling through them. Unfortunately, you can't adjust window sizes with command plus or minus.

The "select file and hit ⌘Y or space bar" technique is very convenient. Works for jpg, gif, animated gif, mp4, even wmf files. As pointed out, the arrow keys will move you from one file to next. Interesting to note, if you're displaying the files in icon view, then the you must move up/down to the next row of file icons with the up/down arrows… the left/right arrows don't automatically do that.
