Eye of GNOME

Eye of GNOME is the official image viewer for the GNOME desktop environment. Unlike some other image viewers, Image Viewer will only display images. It does, however, provide basic effects for improved viewing, such as zooming, full-screen, rotation, and transparent image background control.

Eye of GNOME will eventually be replaced by a combination of Sushi and GNOME Photos.

Image Viewer also supports the viewing of the Exif/XMP metadata associated with an image.

Criticism

Eye of GNOME was criticized for its lack of GIF animation playback; however, this functionality was included in version 2.29.1.
