Pineapple Pictures
A downloadable tool for Windows and Linux
Pineapple Pictures is a lightweight image viewer that allows you view GIF, SVG, PSD, KRA, XCF, TGA, AVIF and some other frequently used image formats files quickly and easily, and also provide a Stay-on-Top window setting that allows you pin the window so you can use it to pin a reference image at the top and then you can work with other software like Zbrush.
Features:
- Dedicated image viewer, no editing, or image management functions.
- Bird-eye view when zoom-in.
- JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG, PSD, KRA, XCF, TGA, WEBP, AVIF, and more formats.
- A Stay-on-Top option allows you to pin the window at the top.
- Protect mode which can help you prevent closing the window accidentally when you use it as a reference image window.
- Free (as in free beer and in free speech) and Open Source (on GitHub)
The itch.io version allows you to download via a webpage or via the itch.io client (so you don't need to check updates and update it manually). Right now, we only provide the Windows version and Ubuntu 22.04 version, head to GitHub if you need a Linux version package for ubuntu 20.04 or would like to build it manually.
There is an "additional-image-formats" version available in the itch.io release with a little cost (1 USD), which contains some experimental image formats support. Those additional formats support will eventually land into the main release once I'm happy with the final result, the package provided here is for people who don't want to wait and tend to use it right away. Currently, it contains the following format(s):
- APNG (animated PNG, Qt 5.15.x version-only for now)
- EXR (OpenEXR)
- JXL (JPEG XL, Qt 6.x version-only for now)
- RAW/ARW (Qt 6.x version-only for now)
- HEIC/HEIF (Qt 6.x version-only for now)

Hello, I liked the idea of the program, but I want a Linux version AppImage
Hi. It’s suggested to use the native package when possible since it can make use of your system’s image format plugin. This is an image viewer program and using AppImage could slow down the start-up time which is very unlikely something you want. Flatpak can also be used but it’s only suggest for people who are using an immutable Linux distribution (e.g. Steam OS).
Thank you very much.
Hello, I was looking for a simple and free program to quickly view svg files, I found yours on sourceforge, but I ran into some difficulties. file created in Libreoffice Draw is displayed incorrectly. I have a suspicion that the text is not displayed because it needs to be converted to curves, are there any recommendations for solving this problem? I need to leave the text in the file as is for easy editing. Thanks for the program.
Hi! Currently the SVG support is limited to the static features of SVG 1.2 Tiny standard. It’s possible to bring better SVG support by writing a new Qt imageformat plugin with librsvg but I don’t have time working on it right now, so you might need to convert the text to curves to make it display correctly in this app (or other apps that only support SVG 1.2 Tiny standard) currently. Sorry about that.
Thanks for your reply, good luck.
