Eye of GNOME ou Windows Photo Viewer : une bonne alternative sous Linux ?

Eye of GNOME, alternative Linux à Windows Photo Viewer

Mis à jour le 27 octobre 2026

Notre avis

Eye of GNOME is a good replacement for Windows Photo Viewer if you're on a GNOME-based Linux system and want a simple, fast image viewer. It handles common formats, starts quickly, and supports fullscreen viewing, zoom, and keyboard navigation. Automatic EXIF rotation is a small but useful touch. While it lacks some polish in newer GNOME versions—having been replaced by Loupe—it still works well for basic viewing. Not ideal for non-GNOME users or those needing advanced tools, but for straightforward photo browsing, it’s solid.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Windows Photo Viewer

Eye of GNOME opens all image formats that Windows Photo Viewer supports—JPEG, PNG, BMP, and GIF—without issue. It also handles TIFF and WebP, which Windows Photo Viewer doesn’t support natively. You won’t need to convert files. If you have older or obscure formats like ICO or TGA, compatibility isn’t guaranteed, but for standard photo files from cameras or websites, it works reliably. No export options are provided since it’s a viewer only.
