Image Preview
It gives you very detailed information about your images. You can learn about an image’s name, age, size, and file type just by looking at the preview. Changing from a JPEG to another image standard is easy, and lossless. JPEG conversions are known for being difficult to do without some major loss in the quality of the photo, especially if you use a bad program like MS Paint to convert your files. You don’t have to worry about difficult options with JPEG conversion anymore, nor do you have to worry about a loss of quality due to poor conversions.
Take Screenshot
You can tag people in your photos. Just like with Facebook, XnView allows users to tag people in photographs, making it easier to organize large groups of photos with a single click. XnView can take screenshots for you. This is a favorite feature of graphic designers, webpage designers, as well as photographers who want to go over issues with their clientele by showing them exactly what they see on the screen. You can shoot your entire computer desktop screen, or you can shoot a simple window. It’s all up to you.
