About PlainViewer
PlainViewer is available as a freeware, and compatible with Windows XP. (not tested on older versions, although it should somewhat work if you don't mind ugly icons)
Features
- Format support : reads and writes JPEG, TIFF, PNG, MNG, BMP, PSD, GIF, PCX, WBMP, Targa, PGM, PPM, SGI, RAS, XBM, XPM, IFF, DDS, etc.
- Advanced JPEG features : JPEG lossless rotations and flipping, stripping or reconstruction of the EXIF thumbnail, lossless cropping, change of EXIF orientation and creation date fields.
- Metadata support : reads EXIF and IPTC datas, reads and writes PNG text fields (with Unicode !), reads and writes XMP metadatas to JPEG and PNG (also Unicode !).
- Multithreaded : can take advantage of all processors to speed up processing (ie : if you have a CPU with 2 core, you can process your images almost twice faster).
- Unicode : properly handles filenames and metadata (when the format supports it) with non-latin letters (ie : Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, etc.).
- Scripting system : you can automate repetitive tasks by applying mini-scripts to a group of images. You can for example write and use a script to : load a picture, paste a logo, shrink, apply some keyword and save the result to a different format in just one click !
