3 Minimalistic Image Viewers For Windows

Posted by Adhavan on Friday, December 5, 2008

There are lot of image viewers for windows which supports tons of formats and has loads of features. But here we look at the image viewers which are ultra light-weight, fast and minimalistic which is enough for most people. When using these image viewers just clicking on Esc closes the application.

VJPEG

VJPEG is just one .exe (168KB) and opens common image formats. When you open a image all you see is the image and it acts as a object on your screen. Then you can move, resize(zoom) around the screen. It also comes with keyboard shortcuts.
It can be downloaded here.

Picasa Image Viewer

The image viewer that comes bundled with Google Picasa 3 supports JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, BMP, TGA and RAW formats and has a javascript lightbox effect (see the screenshot below). It comes with slideshow, zoom options and shows all images in the current folder as thumbnails at the bottom. 

It can be downloaded here.

imv(stb)

imv(stb) is inspired by VJPEG and is similar to it. The application comes with a 74KB image viewer and also a lighter 47KB image viewer. The images have a minimal border to see its edges unlike VJPEG. Use the arrow keys to browse all images in the folder and zoom using your mouse. It is also possible to open multiple imv(stb) windows.

It can be downloaded here.
