.

Although originally deployed only on

Windows, Windows Mobile and Pocket PC.[7] The extended version of XnView, called XnView MP, is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.[8]

Features

XnView is

PNG and TIFF files. It doesn't respect loop settings on animated files, however, and will infinitely loop them, regardless.[14] Classic XnView can read image formats resulting in more than 32 bits per pixel
, but write support is limited to 32 bits.

XnView can show IPTC, Exif and XMP metadata, and write IPTC metadata (It can also do batch writing of IPTC metadata).[15][16] It can write XMP metadata partly together with IPTC metadata. It also supports file comments (4DOS descript.ion). XnView can search files that have the same filename or data, and can search for similar graphics as well.

The display of the histogram of a picture is possible. Scripts can be created to convert, manipulate and rename a batch of images in one go. Creation of advanced slide shows is also possible. Lossless (without new encoding) turning, flipping and cropping of JPEG files is supported.

Typical image editing tools are included, for instance color and size manipulation, several

filters and effects. XnView supports .8bf Photoshop plugins such as the Harry's Filters 3.0 included in the full version. Support for most raw image formats is based on dcraw
.

Support for vector graphics (EPS, PS, PDF) can be integrated with Ghostscript. Classic XnView does not support Unicode, and SVG requires a commercial CAD plugin. These features are available in the multi-platform edition XnView MP based on Qt.[8]

Classic XnView is also distributed in the

FLIF.[19]
