Product demonstration


Remote Access

Connect to and control a computer as though you were sitting in front of it. Pinch to zoom in to a specific area, or out to see the whole picture.

Bonjour Discovery Service

Bonjour-enabled computers automatically advertise their presence to VNC Viewer, making it simple to find computers to connect to.

Connection Recognition

Connections can have user-friendly names, and desktop previews to help identify computers.

Intuitive Controls

Easy navigation, scrolling, dragging, and selection using standard touch, tap, and drag gestures.

Easy Mouse Emulation

Mouse button mode for precise control using the left, middle, and right mouse buttons, and scrolling using the mouse wheel.

Function and other operation keys

A scrolling key bar contains buttons representing useful non-character computer keyboard keys, such as function, modifier, editing, and navigation keys.

Integrated Session Security

By default, all communications are encrypted using up to 256-bit AES technology, and authentication credentials are protected by 2048-bit RSA public keys, so your connection cannot be intercepted or spied upon.

System Authentication

Connect using the same user name and password you use to log on to the computer. Credentials can be remembered so you don't have to enter them each time you connect.

Enhanced Performance

VNC Viewer can take full advantage of the performance enhancements available with VNC Enterprise Edition and VNC Personal Edition.

International Keyboard Support

Only connections to computers running VNC Enterprise Edition and VNC Personal Edition have been tested with selected International iPhone keyboards to reproduce all the characters you can type, and all the operations you can perform using the VNC Viewer special buttons.
