XnView is
customisable and
multi-lingual. XnView can read more than 500 image file formats, some
audio and
video file formats, and write 50 image file formats. XnView also supports
ICC profiles in
JPEG,
PNG and
TIFF files. It doesn't respect loop settings on animated files, however, and will infinitely loop them, regardless. 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). 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. XnView 2.13 (2013) was the last version for Windows platforms older than
Windows XP. Version 2.30 released in 2015 supports the
Netpbm PAM format, can read
Better Portable Graphics, and offers an add-on for
Imgur uploads. As of 2018 XnView also supported
HEIF and
FLIF. == Related software ==
