eog vs. Windows Photos: eine gute Linux-Alternative?

eog als Linux-Alternative zu Windows Photos

Aktualisiert am 20. Oktober 2026

Unser Fazit

Eye of GNOME (eog) can replace Microsoft Photos for users who mainly need a fast, lightweight viewer for everyday pictures. It reads all common formats, offers basic rotate/flip and zoom, and can run slideshows, making it suitable for quick previews. However, it lacks the richer editing tools, album management, video playback, and AI‑based sorting that many Windows Photos users expect. If you are comfortable using separate programs for tagging, batch edits, or video, eog is a solid choice; otherwise you’ll likely need a more feature‑complete suite such as digiKam or Shotwell.

Ihre Windows Photos-Dateien öffnen

eog opens the same image files that Windows Photos does (JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, GIF, SVG). It can export only by saving the original file or using the desktop environment's file manager to copy/convert; eog itself does not provide a dedicated export or conversion dialog, so for format changes you may need an external tool like ImageMagick.

Von Windows Photos zu eog wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

Install eog via your package manager (e.g., sudo apt install eog)
Set eog as the default application for image files in your desktop settings
Copy your picture folders to the Linux home directory or a shared partition
Open a folder with eog to verify thumbnails and navigation work
If you need tagging or albums, install a complementary manager such as digiKam

Häufige Fragen

Can eog edit photos beyond rotation?

No, eog only offers rotate and flip; for cropping, resizing or filters you need another editor like GIMP or Krita.

Does eog handle video files like Windows Photos?

No, eog is strictly an image viewer; use a video player such as VLC for video playback.

Is there any way to batch‑process images in eog?

eog can open multiple files at once for viewing, but it does not provide batch rename, resize or conversion features. Use command‑line tools or a dedicated batch editor for that.
