JPEGView - Image Viewer and Editor

This is the semi-official re-release of JPEGView.

Installation

Official Releases

Official releases will be made to sylikc's GitHub Releases page. It includes:

• Archive Zip/7z - Portable
• Windows Installer MSI - For Installs
• Source code - Build yourself

Portable

JPEGView does not require installation to run. Just unzip, and run either the 64-bit version, or the 32-bit version depending on which platform you're on. It can save the settings to the extracted folder and run entirely portable.

MSI Installer

For those who prefer to have JPEGView installed for All Users, a 32-bit/64-bit installer will be available to download starting with v1.0.40. I don't own a code signing certificate yet, so the MSI release is not signed.

WinGet

If you're on Windows 11, or Windows 10 1709 or later, you can also download it directly from the official Microsoft WinGet tool repository. This downloads the latest MSI installer directly from GitHub for installation.

Example Usage:

C:> winget search jpegview

Brief History

This GitHub repo continues the legacy (is a "fork") of the excellent project JPEGView by David Kleiner. Unfortunately as of 2020, the SourceForge project has essentially been abandoned, with the last update being 2018-02-24 (1.0.37). It's an excellent lightweight image viewer that I use almost daily!

The starting point for this repo was a direct clone from SourceForge SVN to GitHub Git. By continuing this way, it retains all previous commits and all original author comments.

I'm hoping with this project, some devs might help me keep the project alive! It's been awhile, and could use some new features or updates. Looking forward to the community making suggestions, and devs will help with some do pull requests as some of the image code is quite a learning curve for me to pick it up. -sylikc
