Simple Viewer GL is a simple and tiny image viewer based on OpenGL.

The primary goal for writing Simple Viewer GL is to create an image viewer, which only has the most basic features required for fast image viewing. It has some vi-like key bindings and works nicely with tiling window managers (such as ion3/notion, i3wm, dwm, xmonad, hyprland, sway, etc).

Supported formats: PNG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PSD (Adobe Photoshop), AI (Adobe Illustrator), EPS, XCF (GIMP image format), GIF, SVG, TIFF, TARGA, ICO, ICNS (Apple Icon Image), BMP, PNM, DDS, XWD, SCR (ZX-Spectrum screen), XPM, WebP, OpenEXR and more.

Features

  • Lightweight and fast: utilize hardware-accelerated video card;
  • Support embedded ICC profiles;
  • GIF animation support;
  • GIMP XCF support;
  • Adobe PSD format support;
  • Adobe AI, EPS formats preview support;
  • SVG format support;
  • Exif support;
  • Very simple interface;
  • Suitable for default image viewer for the desktops and laptops;
  • Minimal lib dependency: look library requirements below;
  • Desktop independent: doesn't require any specific desktop environment;
  • Open source, licensed under GNU GPL;

Usage

Simple Viewer GL has two modes of operation: image viewer and image info mode. The default is image mode, in which only the current image is shown. In image info mode pixel info and rectangular selection available. This mode useful for brief resource description.

Key bindings

Hotkey Action
<esc> exit
<space> next image
<backspace> previous image
<home> first file in list
<end> last file in list
<+> / <-> scale image
<1>...<0> set scale from 100% to 1000%
<enter> switch fullscreen / windowed mode
<h> / <l> pan left / right in pixels
<j> / <k> pan down / up in pixels
<shift> + <h> / <l> pan left / right in percents
<shift> + <j> / <k> pan down / up in percents
<del> toggle deletion mark
<ctrl> + <del> delete marked images from disk
<r> rotate clockwise
<shift> + <r> rotate counterclockwise
<pgup> / <bgdn> previous /next subimage
<s> fit image to window
<shift> + <s> toggle 'keep scale' on image load
<c> hide / show chequerboard
