PicView 3.1.3 has been released as a fast and efficient open-source image viewer. This application is packed with various features designed to enhance the user experience, including image effects, galleries, and the ability to view detailed image information. It automatically adjusts to the user's screen for optimal viewing, and its user interface is designed for clarity and ease of navigation. Users have the option to toggle the interface to display only the image by pressing Alt + Z and can customize the visibility of hover buttons and the window border through the settings.
One notable feature is its capability to manage images with transparent backgrounds, allowing users to switch backgrounds to checkerboard, dark, or white by simply pressing 'T'. PicView also includes a selection of 26 shader effects, such as negative colors and pencil sketches, which can be previewed before applying. Users can copy these effects to the clipboard or save them directly to their devices, and the effects will carry over when setting images as wallpapers or lock screens.
PicView supports a wide array of file formats, including common types like .jpg, .png, and .gif, as well as less common ones like .heic, .psd, and various RAW formats. Alongside viewing capabilities, PicView provides basic editing options such as rotating, flipping, and cropping images, changing file types, and drag-and-drop support for files, folders, URLs, and archives. Users can also utilize a scroll function and open files in external applications or view their properties.
In addition to these features, PicView's versatility makes it a competitive alternative to standard image viewing applications, particularly for users seeking a lightweight, feature-rich program. Future updates may focus on expanding the range of supported formats, enhancing editing capabilities, and refining the user interface for an even smoother experience
