Eye of GNOME is the official image viewer for the GNOME desktop environment, where it is also known as Image Viewer. Unlike some other image viewers, Eye of GNOME will only display images. It does, however, provide basic effects for improved viewing, such as zooming, full-screen, rotation, and transparent image background control.

Eye of GNOME will eventually be replaced by a combination of Sushi and GNOME Photos.[3]

File formats

Eye of GNOME supports the following file formats:

Eye of GNOME also supports the viewing of the Exif/XMP metadata associated with an image.

eog doesn't support webp

Criticism

Eye of GNOME was criticized for its lack of GIF animation playback;[4][5] however, this functionality was included in version 2.29.1.[6][7]

Eye of GNOME used to render SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) as a rasterized bitmap by default.[8] This bitmap then gets manipulated when scaling the image, resulting in pixelation when zooming in.[9] Since version 2.31.1, this too was fixed.[10]
