Scene shown in the video
The video begins with the question, “Does it have to be heavy to open a photo?” The answer is ImgView, a lightweight free viewer that focuses only on images.
| scene in the video | What to do |
|---|---|
| Flip through folders | When you open a photo, the same folder continues and you use the arrow keys to scroll through it. |
| View compressed files directly | View images inside ZIP, 7z, RAR without unzipping them |
| Batch conversion | Change and save the format and size of multiple sheets at once |
| keyboard operation | Rotate with the R key and press the W key to move vertically like a webtoon. |
In the last scene, we inform you that it is completely free without ads or embedded programs, and that it is 64-bit for Windows 10 and 11, and the conditions for .NET 8 Desktop Runtime are provided.
In what situations do you use it?
Viewing photos is simple, but if there are a lot of photos in a folder or photos received as compressed files, opening them one by one becomes cumbersome.
- When scrolling through photos accumulated in a folder using the arrow keys
- When first looking through photos or scans received in a compressed file without unpacking them
- When you need to change the format or size of multiple sheets at once and save them
- When reading long images, such as webtoons, vertically without interruption
