Who is it for?
You can use this for photo archives, supplied images and preparing files for websites. It fits with recurring viewing and converting. When using within a company, check the license: private and educational use does not automatically have the same conditions as commercial use.
Getting started
Try renaming first on copies and use a fixed pattern with date or topic. Then make sure the sequence is correct.
Privacy
Metadata may contain names, author information and GPS coordinates. Check what you keep in an export. A catalogue or thumbnails collection may also contain information about deleted or moved files. Therefore, secure the storage and do not unnecessarily share a complete overview of your archive for support.
Good to know
The free license does not apply to any use. Commercial use is subject to conditions other than those for private use.
Please note
A supported input format does not always have the same output capabilities. Save originals before renaming or converting. Check color profiles and transparency for images intended for publication. Automatically processing many files remains something you first have to assess on a small selection.
Advantages
- You can view many image formats in one environment.
- Batch conversion and rename support consistent output.
- Comparison and metadata display help organize a collection of content.
Things to consider
- The extensive options require control of your output.
- Business use may require a license.
- Additional tools are required for extensive photo editing or design.

Our verdict
XnView MP is suitable if you want to view, organize and convert a large collection of images into groups. The support for many formats is especially useful when you receive material from different programs. The added value is in overview and batch work. For a complex composition or specialised RAW development, an editor made for that can fit better.
The deciding factor lies in recurring tasks with many images: select, convert and consistently appoint. Check a small batch for output quality and keep metadata before processing the entire folder. For a single complex image, specialised editing functions are more important. In addition, pay attention to the usage licence applicable to your situation, especially outside of personal use.
