A lightweight image viewer

Open sourceGPL-3.0-or-later

Highlights

  • Displays image files and lets you move through the contents of a directory.
  • Designed to stay small in resource use rather than to serve as an editor.
  • Runs on Linux; no Windows or macOS build is recorded here.
  • Licensed GPL-3.0-or-later, so source code may be studied, changed and redistributed under the same licence.

About this application

Geeqie is an image viewer maintained by the Geeqie developers and released under the GPL-3.0-or-later license. Its stated aim is to be lightweight: the program is built around opening, displaying and moving through image files with modest demands on memory and processor time, rather than around retouching or compositing. Someone looking through a directory of photographs, screenshots or scanned pages is the intended reader of this entry; someone looking for a raster editor is not.

The recorded platform is Linux only. There is no Windows or macOS build listed here, so users on those systems would need a different program. Because the licence is GPL-3.0-or-later, the source code is available for inspection and modification, and redistributed versions or derivative works must be offered under the same terms.

Details such as the exact set of supported file formats, keyboard bindings and metadata handling are not part of the data recorded for this entry; the project's own documentation is the place to confirm whether a particular format or workflow is covered before committing to it.
