Eye of GNOME is the former default image viewer for the GNOME desktop environment, where it had also been known as Image Viewer. It has been superseded by Loupe in GNOME 45.[2] There is also another official image viewer for GNOME called gThumb that has more advanced features like image organizing and image editing functions.
