Second life for famous JPEGView from SourceForge.net (last updated 2018-03-10, currently abandoned).

JPEGView-Static is a fast and tiny statically linked viewer for PC/Web Images and Camera Raw Formats with a minimalist GUI and base image editing capabilities. The best replacement for default OS application to show pictures in various formats. Modified and compiled to fit exactly in one executable. No installer, no collateral files, just copy-paste and run.

This fork incorporates changes not only from original JPEGView from SourceForge.net, but also from JPEGView at GitHub user sylikc.

Updated Jan 10 2024. JPEGView-Static is the new project name and purpose: all the image viewing stuff needed in exactly one statically linked executable.

Basic on-the-fly image processing is provided - allowing adjusting typical parameters:

• Sharpness
• Color Balance
• Rotation
• Perspective
• Brightness/Contrast
• Local Under-Exposure/Over-Exposure

Other Features

• Small and fast, uses AVX2/SSE2 and up to 4 CPU cores
• High quality resampling filter, preserving sharpness of images
• Basic image processing tools can be applied realtime during viewing
• Movie/Slideshow mode - to play folder of JPEGs as movie

New Features

• Added support for ICC Color Profiles embedded in WebP, JPEG XL images.

Localization

• DISABLED. We consider JPEGView-Static as a professional app, so English only.

Also this approach makes all the GUI/Help terms to be named in an unified way.

System Requirements

• Only 64-bit version is supported to avoid legacy garbage: Windows 7/8/10/11 64-bit or later

Collaboration with Second Life Metaverse

JPEGView-Static appears to be extremely useful in converting WebP files to jpg images since JPEGView-Static incorporates a Google's WebP library. By default, JPEGView-Static saves high quality yet relatively small jpg images, using Turbo JPEG library.

JPEGView-Static was used to convert Second Life Metaverse avatars and screenshots into jpg file format. Below are few examples of how easily that can be achieved.

• JPEGView-Static: Metaverse City is a welcoming roleplay community aimed towards newcomers and veterans alike
