ImageGlass Portable

Even though Windows comes with an embedded image viewer, the problem with these apps is that they offer little functions, cannot be configured properly and often experience compatibility issues. If you store dozens of photos on your computer, then it may be a good idea to employ a dedicated tool for this purpose.

ImageGlass Portable is a lightweight piece of software that provides support for over 30 image formats, comes with a clipboard history and ensure a smooth and rapid switch between images.

The app comes with a clean and user-friendly interface that dedicated a significant percentage to the viewing function. You can browse to the desired folder or you can obtain the same result via drag and drop.

Among the file formats that the program can recognize, you can count CUR, EMF, ICO, PBM, PCX, WEBP, WMF, WPG, XPM, SVG, so on and so forth. A noteworthy feature is that conversion can be made in up to 10 different formats, although the developer does not provide a list in this sense.

You should bear in mind that the main function of the app is to allow you to view photos, not to edit them. When accessed, the edit function opens an external tool that packs a few basic options. In case you need to make more editing or perhaps, prefer advanced tools, then you should consider using other third-party software solutions.

Then again, the application permits you to make simple manipulation operations such as zoom in, zoom out, scale to width or height, rename, delete, set as background or rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, just to name a few.

In the eventuality that you are looking for a versatile photo viewer that provides extended file format support and functionality compared to the Windows standard counterpart, then perhaps you can consider giving ImageGlass Portable a try.
