It’s the opposite of XnView, JPEGView is all about simplicity and efficiency. In addition, it also supports direct cropping and copying of pictures to the clipboard or saving them locally, display of EXIF information and image histograms, supports batch renaming/copying, double-click to display image in 100% size, opening the picture to enter full-screen mode by default, and saving all parameters in INI file, etc. It supports slideshow/movie mode to play pictures (very good picture viewing experience), and supports very rich picture formats (including popular JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG, TIFF, JXL, TGA, WDP, HDP, JXR, DNG, and newer formats such as WEBP, HEIF/HEIC, AVIF, etc.). It simplifies the complexity while ensuring that the basic functions that a picture browser should have are available. JPEGView has an extremely simple interface, which brings users a very simple and convenient way to browse pictures. JPEGView is small, fast and highly configurable, uses SSE2 and up to 4 CPU cores to implement hardware acceleration, provides basic image processing functionality that can be applied real-time during viewing an image (no need to go into additional editing mode), which allows to quickly and interactively adjust common parameters of image such as sharpness, color balance, rotation, perspective, contrast and local under-/overexposure.

But fortunately, Kevin M took it over again and brought new features to it.

Unfortunately, the original developer has given up maintenance. Among so many picture viewing tools, JPEGView has always been on the list and has been popular since its first launch. JPEGView is a free and open-source full-screen image viewer & editor with minimal GUI, originally developed by David Kleiner, and forked and improved by Kevin M (sylikc). In order to obtain a faster, more efficient, and better image viewing experience, we often need to use a third-party image viewer.
