Quick Picture Viewer is an excellent option for anyone. Some other nice features the program offers are: always on top - to make sure it overlaps other programs’ windows, picture in picture mode - for those who want to view an image as a reference for different purposes (drawing it graphically, physically, editing purposes, etc.), and even metadata info that can be easily accessed and copied to clipboard. Quick Picture Viewer keeps the mouse scroll original up-down functionality, and that is great! Also, after zooming in or out on a picture, you want the mouse scroll to have the basic up-down functionalities and not to become a zoom in/out modulator (which can also be frustrating at times). This app is intuitive and does not overcomplicate things. Even as a professional in your field, you don’t expect a picture visualizer to open multiple elements in different tabs of the same window. Many apps try to include functionalities that regular users don’t need and most often, create frustration.

Less is more - an app that does not overdo it Among other things, what gives the app a nice touch is the following: being able to open a file with an external app, having auto-zoom, screen capture, the option to copy/paste the image, and a checkboard/standard base layout for transparent background formatting. On the top bar, you will find the small icons.

The footer always displays the name of the picture and its type, the path of the file, the picture size, creation date and hour. As expected, you can choose to open a file by dragging it or selecting it with the corresponding ‘Open‘ function. Start using it and discover how intuitive it can beĪfter a basic, standard installation process, you will be prompted with the main window.

All of this is elegantly packed in a very small package that gives us access to plenty of options. This picture viewer does what the name suggests: helps you view pictures and offers everything you would expect from a program of that type. Quick Picture Viewer is a tool that is part of the ‘Quick’ open-source suite, alongside apps that aim to offer easy, free access to instruments used in our day-to-day life.
