Nice if you want to go blind, the bright ui theme helps with that a lot, could not see the rest of the apps capabilities unfortunately

What is Gwenview?
Gwenview is an image viewer for KDE. It can load and save all image formats supported by KDE, but Gwenview can also browse GIMP files (*.xcf). Gwenview does not try to replace your favorite image editor, so it only features the most simple image manipulations, e.g. cropping, rotation and mirroring, plus a few more. When working with JPEG files, Gwenview performs lossless manipulations.

Works with HEIC, loads videos with the proper orientation, wow, wow! An excellent image viewer. Not designed for editing.

There's a dark theme…
Name ONE other image viewer that switches from "displaying image" to "entering full gwen userinterface" when you press ESC. it is an insane ancient tool that somehow managed to ruin much of KDE. no ux/ui savy person would create such a flow. but then again hardly any iPhone user would touch a machine that runs gwenview. coincidence?
I am missing possibility to draw a rectangle with/without a fill in order to highlight or cover part/s of the image in order to hide sensitive parts or draw an arrow over the image to point to some detail.
Intuitive, supports gifs, webm, video (provided you have installed the proper packages). I've tested nearly all image viewers and Gwenview comes out on top.
Faz parte da família KDE. Então eu confio.
The best alternative to irfanview on ubuntu that I find, and I tried a lot of them.
