eog (Eye of GNOME) is the official image viewer for the GNOME desktop environment. It provides a fast, lightweight interface for displaying images in various formats including JPEG, PNG, GIF, SVG, and many others. The viewer supports slideshows, fullscreen viewing, and basic image operations like rotation and zooming.
The application integrates seamlessly with GNOME desktop services and file managers, supporting drag-and-drop, thumbnail generation, and EXIF metadata display. While designed for GNOME, eog can run on other desktop environments, though some features may require GNOME libraries.
