Image loading is handled by the Qt library, so Gwenview supports all image formats your Qt installation supports.

Gwenview supports the displaying and editing of EXIF comments in JPEG images. Lossless JPEG transforms such as rotations and mirroring are also supported.

For each type of information, one or more displays are provided. Displays are organized in worksheets that can be saved and loaded independently from each other.
