What is Free KTX viewer?
After repeated attempts to find an easy/quick way to view KTX files, I gave up and built my own. Currently only KTX1 supported for 2D textures and cubemaps. I'll probably add support for KTX2 and mipmaps soon.
Problem
Users struggle to find an easy/quick way to view KTX files, relying on fragmented or incomplete tools that lack support for KTX1, cubemaps, or mipmaps.
Solution
A free in-browser KTX viewer tool enabling users to view KTX files directly without installation, supporting KTX1, 2D textures, and cubemaps, with planned updates for KTX2 and mipmaps.
Customers
Developers, graphic designers, and game developers working with texture files who need a lightweight, no-install solution for quick previews.
Unique Features
Browser-based accessibility (no downloads), KTX1 and cubemap support, and upcoming KTX2/mipmap compatibility.
User Comments
Fills a niche gap for KTX viewing, praised for simplicity and browser convenience, requests for expanded version support, positive feedback on cubemap handling, and appreciation for open-source accessibility.
Traction
Recently launched on ProductHunt (date unspecified), with active updates planned (KTX2/mipmaps). No disclosed user/revenue metrics, but positioned for developer communities reliant on Khronos standards (KTX format).
Market Size
The global 3D graphics software market, encompassing texture tools, was valued at $18.9 billion in 2022 (Grand View Research), signaling demand for specialized viewers like KTX tools.
