qView

qView is a image viewing app designed to be lightweight and with a minimalistic interface that eliminates toolbars and distractions. Despite its light weight, it offers a full range of functionalities that make it a powerful tool for image management and visualization.

Support for multiple image formats

qView supports a wide variety of image formats, including BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, RAW, ARW, CR2, CR3, TIFF and WebP. Thanks to this, you will not have to convert images to a different format to be able to view them with qView. In addition, qView supports animated images as GIFs, allowing you to control their playback directly from the app, something that other apps do not do.

Focused on performance

qView is designed to open as fast as possible, as well as to open faster than other programs. As soon as you select it as the default program to open your images, just double-click on an image and the program will open almost immediately. Switching from one image to another is also very fast, ensuring a smooth and fast viewing experience. However, with RAW images the performance is somewhat slow.

Other features

qView also includes other features such as recent file history, image rotation and mirroring options, and support for multithreaded processors to make the most of your hardware and get the best possible performance. You can also adjust the zoom behavior, change the background color of the interface and customize the keyboard shortcuts according to your preferences.
