DJV FAQ

DJV is a free, open source image sequence viewer built for VFX, animation and film production. Review EXR, DPX and other professional formats at full resolution and full bit-depth — giving you pixel-perfect playback on Linux, macOS and Windows.

Trusted by thousands of artists and studios since 2004, DJV is the open source standard for professional image review, developed by former Lucasfilm software engineer, Darby Johnston.

DJV is widely regarded as the open source standard for EXR playback — trusted by thousands of artists and studios since 2004. Unlike general media players, DJV is built specifically for high bit-depth image sequences with full color management support, making it the go-to choice for VFX artists, animators and film professionals. Download it free here.

DJV opens EXR files and image sequences instantly — no Photoshop, no Blender, no DaVinci Resolve required. Just download DJV, open your file, and see your render exactly as it was meant to be seen. As one artist put it: “It’s much faster than just opening Blender or DaVinci Resolve to preview your EXR files.”

OpenEXR is the industry-standard image format developed by Industrial Light & Magic, used across VFX, animation and film for its ability to store high dynamic range data at full bit-depth. A regular media player will clip, compress or misrepresent that data. DJV reads EXR natively — every stop of dynamic range intact — showing you exactly what your renderer produced.

DJV is completely free and open source under a BSD license — no trial period, no feature limits, no strings attached. The source code is available on GitHub.

DJV Studio, coming soon, adds native video codec support including MOV files, Blackmagic DeckLink and more workflows for film production pipelines — available as a one-time license, no subscription ever.
