XnView - a powerful image viewer

XnView is a free program (for non-commercial use) for viewing and organizing image storage. XnView allows you to edit images, create slideshows, web pages, thumbnail sheets, video image galleries, etc.

In some respects, XnView is superior to most similar viewer programs for viewing graphics files. The free program XnView is a powerful converter of graphics file formats (a huge number of formats are supported) that can work with multimedia files.

The XnView program supports video formats (it is necessary that the appropriate codecs are installed in the operating system), formats of many video cameras. Video files and audio files are played using the built-in multimedia player.

Main features of XnView:

Browse over 500 file formats.
Preview mode (thumbnail images).
Editing images.
Batch file conversion.
View non-graphic files (video, audio, archives, documents and other file types).
Convert images over 70 formats.
Screen capture (taking screenshots).
Creating HTML pages with images.
Working with a printer and scanner.

In XnView, you can perform basic editing operations (resizing, cropping, printing, applying filters, comparing photos, changing color settings, inserting text, creating panoramas, etc.) of photos, opening video and audio files, converting images to other formats, batch process files, take a screenshot.

The XnView program works in operating systems: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, the application has Russian language support.

From the official website of the developer (Pierre-Emmanuel Gugele) you can download the following versions of the program: XnView Minimal, XnView Standard, XnView Extended, which differ in configuration (functionality). All versions of XnView are presented in two versions: as an installer for regular installation on a computer, and as an archive for a portable version of the program that does not require installation on a computer.

The site has a version of the XnView MP (XnView Multi Platform) program, which will later combine all versions of the application for different operating systems in one product.

It probably makes sense to download XnView Extended, as the most functional version, which includes all plugins and add-ons. I downloaded XnView Portable onto my computer. After unpacking the XnView Full archive, the program can be launched from the folder by placing the application in a convenient location on the computer or on a removable device (flash drive).

XnView download

When first launched, in the configuration wizard, the XnView program prompts you to select the location of the user settings and integrate your commands into the Windows context menu. You can refuse some offers, add commands to the system and associate files from the program settings.

XnView interface

After launch, you will see the main window of the XnView program. The appearance of the XnView main window can be changed from the View menu by selecting View and Location from the settings context menu.

The browser for viewing photos and other files has three areas: the folder tree area, the contents area of the selected folder, and the preview area (preview). These areas can be hidden using the small blue buttons.

The folder tree looks like Windows Explorer. The folder tree is displayed in the “Folders” tab. Nearby are the “Favorites” and “Categories” tabs.

Files are added to the “Favorites” tab using the corresponding button on the toolbar.

In the “Categories” tab, you can organize all your photos by distributing images by topic. By default, the program has a number of categories created. You can create new categories. To do this, select a category, then select “New Category”, assign a name to the new category. Next, select the image in the XnView window, in the “View” menu, select the “Assign categories...” context menu item, and then select the desired category and apply the settings.

The menu bar contains buttons: “Open”, “Full screen view”, “Rotate counterclockwise”, “Rotate clockwise”, “Lossless JPEG conversion”, “Properties”, “File actions”, “Find”, “Print”, “Scan”, “Convert”, “Capture”, “Slideshow”, “Create Web Page”, “Create Thumbnail Sheet”, “Options”, “About”.

Below the menu bar is a toolbar with tabs, function buttons, and a search field.

Creating a Slideshow in XnView

To create a slide show, click on the “Slide Show” button on the toolbar. In the Slideshow window, click the Add... button, and then in the Explorer window, select images to add to the slideshow. You can add video files to your slideshow.

Using the “Add Folder...” button, add a folder with all the images located in this folder. Using the “sort” button, sort photos by certain criteria (name, date, size, extension).

Delete unnecessary photos using the “Delete” or “Delete All” buttons. Links to files are removed only from the slideshow list.

Using the triangle buttons, you can adjust the order in which images are displayed. To do this, select the image in the “File List” field, and then use the button to move the photo to the desired location in the file list.

In the “Transition” section, a timer is used (with a choice of time in seconds), or the transition to the next image occurs using any keyboard key or mouse button.

Images are displayed in full screen mode or in a fixed size (user's choice).

By default, “Auto-repeat” is enabled, which means that after the display of photos ends, playback of the images will begin again. When you select the “Random order” setting, the pictures are displayed in a random order, and not in a specific order, according to which the photos are located in the list of files.

Next, select transition effects.

Use the Play Sound... setting to add background music to your slideshow. To do this, select the appropriate audio file on your computer.

Click on the “Save…” button to save the slideshow in a “.sld” file format. You can open the slideshow using the “Open...” button.

Using the "Advanced Options..." button, make additional settings before starting to create a slide show.

The slideshow can be saved as an executable “.exe” file (will run on any computer), or in video file format. To do this, click on the appropriate buttons (“Create EXE/SCR...” and “Create video”) and make the necessary settings for a file of this type.

Next, click on the “Run” button. After this, the slide show will start playing. To exit the slide show mode, press the “Esc” key, or double-click on the slide image.

Download XnView Free for Windows

XnView is a powerful photo viewer that includes some editing tools. With its help, you can organize convenient viewing of pictures, change the format of selected files, improve sharpness and brightness, add a watermark, and also create a photo gallery for a web page.

If you are planning to show your friends photos from your trip to Thailand or prepare a photo gallery for your website, it is best to do this with XnView - downloading this multifunctional application will be very useful in such cases. Indeed, in addition to creating conditions for comfortable viewing, the program will also allow you to edit images in just a couple of clicks. The fact is that, unlike IrfanView or ACDSee, a lot of tools - more than 20 - are located here on the top toolbar. That is, in most cases you will not have to “dig” into the “Edit” or “Tools” sections. Buttons depicting popular functions are already displayed in the work area, which is very convenient.

At first, you may get the impression that the interface is overloaded, but you will soon understand that the developers' goal is to save you time.

In addition, you can prepare a photo gallery layout for the site. The “Create - Web Page” section provides a number of templates that determine how images will be displayed on the web page. The HTML code generator is also located here. In short, there is almost everything that is needed to work with pictures for those who decide to make a website themselves or save on the work of a web designer.

Another feature of XnView is batch processing. It is enough to select an action on one image, so that later it will be reflected on all selected objects. For example, you need to add a watermark to several images or adjust everything to one size - this is where this option comes in handy.

Possibilities:

opening all used graphic formats;
image conversion (including batch);
scaling, cropping, rotating;
adjusting brightness, contrast, shades;
slide show mode, viewing multi-page and animated images;
applying filters (for example, blurring or sharpening);
adding text;
fast sending for printing;
installation of modules.

Advantages:

plays some multimedia files (if appropriate codecs are available);
XnView can be downloaded for free;
applies watermarks with adjustable transparency;
interface - in Russian;
XnView also removes red eye.

Things to work on:

many functions are not included in the toolbar;
there is no automatic detection of all images on the PC.

The program has the basic set of functions of paid analogues. And the options for creating a photo gallery for a web page and batch processing make it a valuable find for lovers of ergonomic software.
