The image viewer supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, BMP, and WebP formats. Images open in the center panel with a toolbar for zoom, rotation, and page navigation (for multi-page TIFFs). When the AI agent cites content within an image, a bounding-box highlight marks the referenced region so you can locate it at a glance.
Supported image viewer formats
Hintyr displays common image formats directly in the viewer. Click an image in the document browser and it loads in the center panel. The following formats are supported:
- JPEG / JPG - The most common photo format. Widely used for scanned documents and photographs in litigation.
- PNG - A lossless format popular for screenshots, diagrams, and images with transparency.
- TIFF / TIF - A high-fidelity format often used for scanned legal documents, archival images, and production deliverables. Supports multi-page TIFFs.
- GIF - Supports both static and animated GIF images.
- BMP - A basic bitmap format you may encounter in legacy document collections.
- WebP - A modern web format that delivers high quality at smaller file sizes.
During processing, Hintyr analyzes each image and extracts text using optical character recognition (OCR). Scanned pages and document photographs become searchable by the AI agent once upload and processing finish.
Image viewer controls
When an image is open, a toolbar appears at the top of the panel with zoom, rotation, and close controls. The image scales to fit the available space while preserving its original aspect ratio, so you see the full picture without distortion.
For high-resolution images or detailed photos, use the zoom-in button to examine specific areas up close. Rotate the image in 90-degree increments as needed. The zoom percentage appears in the toolbar so you can track your magnification level.
If you need a copy outside Hintyr, open the file actions menu from the document browser and select download. You get the original image in its native format and resolution.
AI agent highlights in the image viewer
When the AI agent references content within an image, it provides a clickable citation. Click it, and the image viewer opens with a bounding-box highlight over the region the agent identified. This is especially useful for images that contain text, tables, or exhibits, because it points you straight to the area the agent references.
The highlight is a visual indicator only and does not modify the underlying file. It appears as a semi-transparent box drawn over the cited area. As you zoom and pan, the highlight stays in sync with the image so you never lose sight of the referenced region.
This feature works across all the image formats Hintyr supports, including JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and the others listed above.
