mirage als Linux-Alternative zu Windows Photo Viewer

Unser Fazit

Mirage is a good replacement for Windows Photo Viewer if you want a fast, no-frills image viewer on Linux. It starts quickly, uses little memory, and handles common formats reliably. The interface is clean and stays out of the way, focusing on single images without importing them into a library. Keyboard navigation works well with arrow keys and spacebar, and slideshow mode is functional. It won’t appeal to users needing photo management or editing, but for basic viewing, it’s solid and dependable.

Ihre Windows Photo Viewer-Dateien öffnen

Mirage can open all common image formats used by Windows Photo Viewer, including JPEG, PNG, BMP, and GIF. TIFF support is also included, which goes beyond the original Windows tool. You won’t need to convert files for compatibility. Mirage displays images as-is and doesn’t modify or export them by default—viewing is the primary function.
