Ubuntu replacement for IrfanView

Question

On Windows I really liked IrfanView as a basic image editor/manager. Some of the main features I liked were

• great shortcut keys
• good batch conversion options
• ability to work with many image file formats
• easy viewing of images in a folder
• ability to open the program and paste the clipboard and do a quick save
• simple cropping

Though it did have a lot of features, they tended not to get in the way of simple tasks.

What would be a good replacement on Ubuntu?

Answer 1

Nomacs is the best replacement for me. To install it:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nomacs

Answer 2

The good replacement is gthumb. You can easily install it through Ubuntu Software Center. It has all functions that you require.

Answer 3

I suggest you the XnViewMP. I think it can do all the things you mentioned, I am using it for years now, on both Linux, and Windows.

Answer 4

I found that the good program Irfanview is now in the Snap Store. So you do not need to replace it under Linux.

If you like to install it on Ubuntu or other distros go to:

Answer 5

The closest thing on Linux is XnView. Qua interface, you won't have problems. I use GwenView for viewing/rotating and XnView for what GwenView can't do.
