Rust Lean Image Viewer - Fast and configurable image viewer inspired by JPEGView by David Kleiner

R-liv is meant to be a small, lean, fast and configurable image viewer inspired by JPEGView by David Kleiner. It's philosophy is similar - minimal GUI with maximal image and utility.

• Support for transparency
• Pixel art friendly

Planned features:

• Basic image processing with live preview
• Saving
• Exif reading and error checking

Download

Stable releases

Unstable builds

Compiling from source

git clone https://github.com/3top1a/r-liv
cd r-liv
cargo build --release

the binary will be under target/release/

Usage

R-liv only supports opening an image, otherwise it will error

r-liv image.png

On windows you can drag an image on the .exe to open it with R-liv.

But why?

Honestly, because JPEGView does not have Linux support. And I want to learn Rust.

And for who?

For powerusers, who want a image viewer that lets them do things quickly and not impact performance.

For normal users, who want a fast image viewer.

For editors, that don't want to open a fully featured editor to do something basic like flipping or rotating an image.
