What JPEGView is

JPEGView is a free image viewer and editor for Windows with a minimal interface and configurable controls. It opens common formats such as JPEG, PNG, and GIF, as well as TIFF, PSD, WEBP, JXL, HEIF/HEIC, AVIF, and camera RAW formats. While viewing, users can adjust sharpness, color balance, rotation, perspective, contrast, and local under- or over-exposure. It also includes color management and a metadata viewer. Movie/slideshow mode plays a folder of JPEGs as a movie. The project says JPEGView uses AVX2/SSE2, can use up to four CPU cores, and applies a high-quality resampling filter. It can run from an extracted archive without installation and save settings in that folder. Official releases include portable ZIP and 7z archives, Windows MSI installers, and source code; installation through Microsoft WinGet, PortableApps, and Scoop is also documented. JPEGView is free software under GNU GPL version 2 or later and is localized to 28 languages. The project describes its documentation as somewhat out of date; its MSI release is unsigned, and release notes provide SHA-256 checksums.
