GIMP como alternativa Linux ao Windows Photos
Atualizado em
Nossa avaliação
GIMP can replace the basic viewing and editing features of Windows Photos, but it is aimed at power users rather than casual photo browsers. It excels at cropping, rotating, resizing and advanced retouching, yet it lacks built‑in photo organization, face recognition and video playback. For users who need a lightweight viewer with automatic album management, GIMP is overkill; for those who want a free, capable editor and are comfortable setting up their own library tools, it works well.

Abrindo seus arquivos do Windows Photos
GIMP opens all common raster formats that Windows Photos handles, including JPEG, PNG and WebP, and can export to those same formats. It also reads TIFF and PSD files, which Windows Photos cannot. Export options are straightforward, but GIMP does not handle proprietary RAW containers as seamlessly as dedicated photo managers; you may need additional plugins for some camera formats.
Trocando o Windows Photos pelo GIMP, passo a passo
- Install GIMP from your distro repository or Flathub.
- Copy your Pictures folder to a location accessible from Linux.
- Open images in GIMP to verify they display correctly.
- If you need batch resizing, create a simple Script‑Fu or use the built‑in batch mode.
- Set GIMP as the default image editor for JPEG/PNG if you want double‑click editing.

Can GIMP replace Windows Photos for quick image previews?
It can, but opening a file launches the full editor, which is slower than a dedicated viewer like eog.
Does GIMP organize photos into albums or tags?
No, you will need a separate tool such as digiKam or Shotwell for library management.
Is video playback supported in GIMP?
No, GIMP handles only still images; use a media player (e.g., VLC) for video files.
