qView
qView is a Qt image viewer designed with minimalism and usability in mind. It can be installed on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
qView is one of the most elegant or stylish image viewers for any operating system. "qView was designed from the very start to be as visually minimal and space efficient as possible. No cluttered interface, just your image and a titlebar. qView features a myriad of configurable preferences to ensure the best experience for as many people as possible. qView supports all common image formats including bmp, gif, jpg, png, tiff, and webp. Whatever operating system you use, the experience is designed to be as native as possible. qView is completely free and open source software based on Qt5. It can be found on Github under the GPLv3 license." ("WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web.")
