About LXImage-Qt

LXImage-Qt is the Qt port of LXImage, a simple and fast image viewer that is part of the LXQt desktop. It can zoom, rotate, flip and resize images, run slideshows and show a thumbnail bar in several positions and sizes.

It also displays Exif data, renames images inline, supports custom shortcuts and multipage TIFF files, and can add simple annotations such as arrows, rectangles, circles and numbers. It doubles as the screenshot tool for LXQt.

Strengths

  • Lightweight and fast
  • Exif panel and thumbnail bar
  • Built-in annotations and screenshots

Limitations
