Open folders to view images and create slideshows

Image files can be opened by indicating a directory, in order to automatically import all supported photos it contains. The tool shows the name and extension of each entry, enabling you to navigate this list and select a preferred picture to view it in full size in the main window.It's possible to enter fullscreen mode and keep viewing the filename and format, use the mouse buttons or arrow keys to go to the previous or next photo in the list, as well as put together a basic slideshow from all directory images. There are no other notable options available here.

Evaluation and conclusion

Although it hasn't received updates for a long time, it worked smoothly on newer Windows models in our tests, without hanging, crashing or displaying errors. It left a small footprint on PC performance, using low CPU and RAM.However, Transview Image Viewer has a handful of options and doesn't make room for customization, such as filtering files by extension. Nevertheless, it facilitates a straightforward interface for users who want to skip all the hassle that typically comes with such software.
