We have developed using the Java language an image browser system for Subaru telescope. The browser will be used for two purposes; a quick inspection of the observed images at the telescope control room and of the archive images at remote institutes. For the former purpose the browser system supports functions to show spectral traces, statistical values, etc., as well as an image itself to enable observers to check the obtained images quickly. For the latter the browser system is developped to reduce network traffic between a server and clients. The preview images downsized for the rapid transfer are generated with care for each observational equipment in order to minimize the loss of the information on the images.
