XnView is an image organizer and general-purpose file manager used for viewing, converting, organizing and editing raster images, as well as general purpose file management. It comes with built-in hex inspection, batch renaming, image scanning and screen capture tools. It is licensed as freeware for private, educational and non-profit uses. For other uses, it is licensed as commercial software.

Although originally deployed only on Unix-like systems, it is now also available for Windows, Windows Mobile and Pocket PC.[7] The extended version of XnView, called XnView MP, is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.[8]

XnView has received five cows from Tucows.[9] In 2006 Sveriges Television (SVT) recommended XnView in their High Definition Multi Format Test Set.[10] Research papers about DICOM and digital watermarking used XnView for image processing.[11][12]
