About:
feh is a lightweight and fast X11 image viewer designed for efficiency and scriptability. It provides a versatile toolkit for viewing images, managing wallpapers, and performing batch operations. Its minimal dependencies and command-line focus make it a favorite among power users and system administrators.
Key Features:
  • Lightweight and fast, with minimal dependencies
  • Scriptable for batch processing and wallpaper management
  • Highly configurable with a simple, keyboard-driven interface
  • Supports a wide range of image formats via imlib2
Use Cases:
  • Quickly viewing images from the command line
  • Automated wallpaper setting and cycling scripts

Alternatives:
  • sxiv – sxiv is another lightweight image viewer, but focuses more on a simple UI for image management rather than scripting.
