## What it is
NeeView is a free, open-source Windows image viewer that lets you browse images in folders and compressed archives like flipping through a book. It offers extensive customization including key bindings, mouse gestures, scripts, and Susie plugin support.

## Use cases
- view images in zip/rar/7z archives without extracting
- read manga or comics in cbz/cbr files with book-style page turning
- browse large photo folders with fullscreen and slideshow
- view PDFs and play videos in the same viewer
- customize keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures for image navigation
- extend image format support with Susie plugins and scripts

## When to choose
- you need a powerful, highly customizable image viewer on Windows
- you read comics or manga stored in compressed archive formats
- you want one tool for images, archives, PDFs, and videos
- you want scriptable command extensions and plugin support

## When to avoid
- you are on macOS or Linux - it is Windows 10+ 64-bit only
- you need a lightweight minimal viewer with no configuration
- you need image editing capabilities rather than viewing
