image viewer and
cataloguer
SYNOPSIS¶

VERSION¶
This manual documents
feh 2.3
Compile-time switches: libcurl support enabled, Xinerama support enabled,
builtin EXIF support disabled
DESCRIPTION¶
feh is a mode-based image viewer. It is especially aimed at
commandline users who need a fast image viewer without huge GUI dependencies,
though it can also be started by (graphical) file managers to view an image.
feh supports filelists, various image sorting modes, image
captions, HTTP and more. Configurable keyboard shortcuts are used to control
it; the mouse is also supported, but only required for very few actions.
feh can also be used as wallpaper setter.
A little note about EXIF support: The recommended way to display EXIF data is
using exiv2 / exifgrep via
--info (see the
USAGE EXAMPLES
section). However, if you compile feh with exif=1, you
can also view them directly.
MODES¶
feh is based on various modes, which are selected at startup
by comandline options.
Slideshow mode is the default. It opens one window and displays the first image
in it, the keyboard and mouse can be used to change slides (images). In
slideshow mode, images can be deleted either from the filelist or from the
disk, the new filelist can then be saved to the disk and reopened at a later
time.
Montage mode forms a montage from the filelist. The resulting image can be
viewed or saved, and its size can be limited by height, width or both.
Index mode forms an index print from the filelist. Image thumbnails are shown
along with the filename, filesize and pixel size, printed using a truetype
font of your choice. The resulting image can be viewed or saved, and its size
can be limited by height, width or both.
Thumbnail mode is like index mode, but the mini-images are clickable and open
the selected image in a new window.
Multiwindow mode shows images in multiple windows, instead of as a slideshow in
one window. Don't use with a large filelist ;)
List mode doesn't display images. Outputs an
ls -
style listing of the files in the filelist, including
image info such as size, pixels, type, etc. Customlist mode will display
whatever image info you want, in the format you choose.
feh can also list either all the loadable files in a filelist
or all the unloadable files. Useful for preening a directory.
OPTIONS¶
- -A,
--action
[flag]action
- Specify a shell command as an action to perform on the
image. In slideshow or multiwindow mode, the action will be run when the
action_0 key is pressed, in list mode, it will be run for each file. In
loadable/unloadable mode, it will be run for each loadable/unloadable
file, respectively.
If flag is “;”, feh will
reload the current image instead of switching to the next one after
executing the action.
The action will be executed by /bin/sh. Use format specifiers to refer to
image info. See FORMAT
SPECIFIERS for examples. E.g. “feh -A mv ~/images/%n *”.
In slideshow mode, the next image will be shown after running the action,
in multiwindow mode, the window will be closed.
- --action1
.. --action9
- Extra actions which can be set and triggered using the
appropiate number key.
- -Z,
--auto-zoom
- Zoom pictures to screen size in fullscreen / fixed geometry
mode.
- -x,
--borderless
- Create borderless windows.
- -P,
--cache-thumbnails
- Enable thumbnail caching in
~/.thumbnails. Only works with thumbnails <= 256x256
pixels.
- -K,
--caption-path path
- Path to directory containing image captions. This turns on
caption viewing, and if captions are found in path,
which is relative to the directory of each image, they are overlayed on
the displayed image. E.g. with caption path “captions/”, and
viewing image “images/foo.jpg”, the caption will be looked for
in “images/captions/foo.jpg.txt”.
- -L,
--customlist format
- Don't display images, print image info according to
format instead. See
FORMAT SPECIFIEDRS.
- --cycle-once
- Exit feh after one loop through the
slideshow.
- -G,
--draw-actions
- Draw the defined actions and what they do at the top-left
of the image.
- --draw-exif
- (only if compiled with exif=1) display some EXIF
information in the bottom left corner, similar to using
--info with exiv2 / exifgrep .
- -d,
--draw-filename
- Draw the filename at the top-left of the image.
- --draw-tinted
- Show overlay texts (as created by
--draw-filename et al) on a
semi-transparent background to improve their readability
- -f,
--filelist file
- This option is similar to the playlists used by music
software. If file exists, it will be read for a list
of files to load, in the order they appear. The format is a list of image
filenames, absolute or relative to the current directory, one filename per
line.
If file doesn't exist, it will be created from the
internal filelist at the end of a viewing session. This is best used to
store the results of complex sorts (-Spixels
for example) for later viewing.
Any changes to the internal filelist (such as deleting a file or it being
pruned for being unloadable) will be saved to file
when feh exits. You can add files to filelists by
specifying them on the commandline when also specifying the list.
If file is “-”, feh will
read the filelist from its standard input.
- -e,
--font font
- Set global font. Should be a truetype font, resident in the
current directory or the font directory, and should be defined in the form
fontname/points, like “myfont/12”.
- -C,
--fontpath path
- Specify path as extra directory in
which to search for fonts; can be used multiple times to add multiple
paths.
- --force-aliasing
- Disable antialiasing for zooming, background setting
etc.
- -I,
--fullindex
- Same as index mode, but with additional information below
the thumbnails. Works just like “feh --index --index-info
"%n\n%S\n%wx%h"”. Enables
MONTAGE MODE OPTIONS.
Note: This option needs to load all images to calculate the dimensions of
the feh window, so when using it with many files it will
ake a while before a feh window is visible. Use
--preload to get a progress bar.
- -F,
--fullscreen
- Make the window fullscreen. Note that in this mode, large
images will always be scaled down to fit the screen,
--zoom zoom only affects smaller
images and never scales larger than necessary to fit the screen size. The
only exception is a zoom of 100, in which case
images will always be shown at 100% zoom, no matter their dimensions.
- -g,
--geometry [width
x height]
[+ x +
y]
- Limit (and don't change) the window size. Takes an X-style
geometry string like 640x480 with optional +x+y
window offset. Note that larger images will be zoomed out to fit, but you
can see them at 1:1 by clicking the zoom button. Note that this option
does not enforce the geometry, changing it by a tiling WM or manually is
still possible.
- -Y,
--hide-pointer
- Hide the pointer (useful for slideshows).
- -B,
--image-bg style
- Use style as background for transparent image parts and the
like. Accepted values: checks (default), white, black.
- -i,
--index
- Enable Index mode. Index mode is similar to montage mode,
and accepts the same options. It creates an index print of thumbails,
printing the image name beneath each thumbnail. Index mode enables certain
other options, see INDEX MODE
OPTIONS and MONTAGE MODE
OPTIONS.
- --index-info
format
- Show image information based on
format below thumbnails in index / thumbnail mode.
See FORMAT SPECIFIERS. May
contain newlines.
Note: If you specify image-related formats (such as %w or %s),
feh needs to load all images to calculate the dimensions
of its own window. So when using them with many files, it will take a
while before a feh window becomes visible. Use
--preload to get a progress bar.
- --info
commandline
- Execute commandline and display its
output in the bottom left corner of the image. Can be used to display e.g.
image dimensions or EXIF information. Supports
FORMAT SPECIFIERS.
- -k,
--keep-http
- When viewing files using HTTP, feh
normally deletes the local copies after viewing, or, if caching, on exit.
This option prevents this so that you get to keep the local copies. They
will be in /tmp with “feh”
in the name.
- -l,
--list
- Don't display images. Analyse them and display an
ls(1) - style listing. Useful in
scripts to hunt out images of a certain size/resolution/type etc.
- -U,
--loadable
- Don't display images. Just print out their names if imlib2
can successfully load them.
- -M,
--menu-font font
- Use font (truetype, with size, like
“yudit/12”) as menu font.
- -m,
--montage
- Enable montage mode. Montage mode creates a new image
consisting of a grid of thumbnails of the images in the filelist. When
montage mode is selected, certain other options become available. See
MONTAGE MODE OPTIONS.
- -w,
--multiwindow
- Disable slideshow mode. With this setting, instead of
opening multiple files in slideshow mode, multiple windows will be opened;
one per file.
- --no-jump-on-resort
- Don't jump to the first image after resorting the
filelist.
- -N,
--no-menus
- Don't load or show any menus.
- --no-screen-clip
- By default, window sizes are limited to the screen size.
With this option, windows will have the size of the image inside them.
Note that they may become very large this way, making them unmanageable in
certain window managers.
- --no-xinerama
- Disable Xinerama support. Only makes sense when you have
Xinerama support compiled in.
- -j,
--output-dir directory
- Save files to directory (only useful
with -k)
- -p,
--preload
- Preload images. This doesn't mean hold them in RAM, it
means run through them and eliminate unloadable images first. Otherwise
they will be removed as you flick through. This also analyses the images
to get data for use in sorting, such as pixel size, type etc. A preload
run will be automatically performed if you specify one of these sort
modes.
- -q,
--quiet
- Don't report non-fatal errors for failed loads. Verbose and
quiet modes are not mutually exclusive, the first controls informational
messages, the second only errors.
- -z,
--randomize
- When viewing multiple files in a slideshow, randomize the
file list before displaying.
- -r,
--recursive
- Recursively expand any directories in the commandline
arguments to the content of those directories, all the way down to the
bottom level.
- -R,
--reload int
- Reload filelist and current image after
int seconds. Useful for viewing HTTP webcams or
frequently changing directories. (Note that the filelist reloading is
still experimental.)
If an image is removed, feh will either show the next one
or quit. However, if an image still exists, but can no longer be loaded,
feh will continue to try loading it.
- -n,
--reverse
- Reverse the sort order. Use this to invert the order of the
filelist. E.g. to sort in reverse width order, use
-nSwidth.
- -.,
--scale-down
- When not in fullscreen: Scale images to screen size if they
are too big.
In tiling environments, this also causes the image to be centered in the
window.
- -D,
--slideshow-delay float
- For slideshow mode, wait float
seconds between automatically changing slides. Useful for presentations.
Specify a negative number to set the delay (which will then be
float * (-1)), but start
feh in paused mode.
- -S,
--sort sort_type
- The file list may be sorted according to image parameters.
Allowed sort types are: name, filename, width, height, pixels, size,
format. For sort modes other than name or filename, a preload run will be
necessary, causing a delay proportional to the number of images in the
list.
- -|,
--start-at filename
- Start the filelist at filename. See
USAGE EXAMPLES.
- -T,
--theme theme
- Load options from config file with name
theme - see
THEMES CONFIG SYNTAX for
more info. Note that commandline options always override theme options.
The theme can also be set via the program name (e.g. with symlinks), so by
default feh will look for a
“feh” theme.
- -t,
--thumbnails
- Same as Index mode, but the thumbnails are clickable image
launchers. Note that --fullscreen does not affect the
thumbnail window. It does, however, work for the image windows launched
from thumbnail mode. Also supports
MONTAGE MODE OPTIONS.
- -~,
--thumb-title string
- Set title for windows opened from
thumbnail mode. See also FORMAT
SPECIFIERS.
- -^,
--title title
- Set window title. Applies to all windows except those
opened from thumbnail mode. See
FORMAT SPECIFIERS.
- -u,
--unloadable
- Don't display images. Just print out their names if imlib2
can NOT successfully load them.
- -V,
--verbose
- output useful information, progress bars, etc.
- -v,
--version
- output version information and exit.
- --zoom
percent | max |
fill
- Zoom images by percent when in full
screen mode or when window geometry is fixed. When combined with
--auto-zoom, zooming will be limited to the specified
percent. Specifying max is like
setting --auto-zoom, using fill makes
feh zoom the image like the --bg-fill
mode.
MONTAGE MODE OPTIONS¶
These additional options can be used for index, montage and (partially)
thumbnail mode.
- -a,
--alpha int
- When drawing thumbnails onto the background, set their
transparency level to int (0 - 255).
- -b,
--bg file |
trans
- Use file as background for your
montage. With this option specified, the montage size will default to the
size of file if no size restrictions were specified.
Alternatively, if file is “trans”, the
background will be made transparent.
- -X,
--ignore-aspect
- By default, the montage thumbnails will retain their aspect
ratios, while fitting into thumb-width/-height. This options forces them
to be the size set by --thumb-width
and --thumb-height. This will
prevent any empty space in the final montage.
- -H,
--limit-height pixels
- Limit the height of the montage.
- -W,
--limit-width pixels
- Limit the width of the montage, defaults to 800 pixels.
If both --limit-width and
--limit-height are specified, the montage will be
exactly width x
height pixels in dimensions.
- -o,
--output file
- Save the created montage to
file.
- -O,
--output-only file
- Just save the created montage to file
without displaying it.
- -s,
--stretch
- Normally, if an image is smaller than the specified
thumbnail size, it will not be enlarged. If this option is set, the image
will be scaled up to fit the thumnail size. Aspect ratio will be
maintained unles --ignore-aspect is specified.
- -E,
--thumb-height pixels
- Set thumbnail height.
- -y,
--thumb-width pixels
- Set thumbnail width.
- -J,
--thumb-redraw n
- Only relevant for --thumbnails: Redraw
thumbnail window every n images. In
feh <= 1.5, the thumbnail image used to be redrawn
after every computed thumbnail (so, it updated immediately). However,
since the redrawing takes quite long (especially for thumbnail mode on a
large filelist), this turned out to be a major performance penalty. As a
workaround, the thumbnail image is redrawn every 10th image now by
default. Set n = 1 to get
the old behaviour, n = 0
will only redraw once all thumbnails are loaded.
INDEX MODE OPTIONS¶
- -@,
--title-font font
- Set font to print a title on the index, if no font is
specified, no title will be printed.
BACKGROUND SETTING¶
feh can also be used as a background setter. Unless you pass
the
--no-fehbg option, it will store the command line
necessary to set the background in
~/.fehbg, so to have your
background restored everytime you start X, you can add “eval $(cat
~/.fehbg)” to your X startup script (like
~/.xinitrc).
Note that all options except
--bg-tile support Xinerama. For
instance, if you have multiple screens connected and use e.g.
--bg-center,
feh will center the image on
each screen. You may even specify more than one file, in that case, the first
file is set on screen 0, the second on screen 1, and so on.
Use
--no-xinerama to treat the whole X display as one screen
when setting wallpapers.
- --bg-center
- Center the file on the background. If it is too small, it
will be surrounded by a black border
- --bg-fill
- Like --bg-scale, but preserves aspect
ratio by zooming the image until it fits. Either a horizontal or a
vertical part of the image will be cut off
- --bg-max
- Like --bg-fill, but scale the image to
the maximum size that fits the screen with black borders on one side.
- --bg-scale
- Fit the file into the background without repeating it,
cutting off stuff or using borders. But the aspect ratio is not preserved
either
- --bg-tile
- Tile (repeat) the image in case it is too small for the
screen
- --no-fehbg
- Do not write a ~/.fehbg file
- %f
- Image path/filename
- %F
- Escaped image path/filename (for use in shell
commands)
- %h
- Image height
- %l
- Total number of files in filelist
- %m
- Current mode
- %n
- Image name
- %N
- Escaped image name
- %p
- Number of image pixels
- %P
- feh
- %s
- Image size in bytes
- %S
- Image size in kilobytes (with kB postfix)
- %t
- Image format
- %u
- Number of current file
- %w
- Image width
- %v
- feh version
CONFIGURATION¶
feh has two config files:
themes for theme
definitions and
keys for key bindings. It will try to read
them from
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/feh/, which (when XDG_CONFIG_HOME
is unset) defaults to
~/.config/feh/. If the files are not
found in that directory, it will also try
/etc/feh/.
All config files treat lines starting with a “#” character as
comments. Note that mid-line comments are not supported.
THEMES CONFIG SYNTAX¶
This file allows the naming of option groups, called themes.
It takes entries of the form “
theme options
...”, where
theme is the name of the entry
and
options are the options which will be applied when
the theme is used.
An example entry would be “imagemap -rVq --thumb-width 40 --thumb-height
30”.
You cane use this theme in two ways. Either call “
feh
-Timagemap *.jpg” or create a symbolic link to
feh
with the name of the theme you want it to use. So from the example above:
“ln -s `which
feh ` ~/bin/imagemap”. Now just
run “imagemap *.jpg” to use these options.
Note that you can split a theme over several lines by placing a backslash at the
end of a line, like in the shell.
You can combine these themes with commandline options. An example fehrc is
provided with a couple of cool example themes.
KEYS CONFIG SYNTAX¶
This file defines the key bindings. It has entries of the form
“
action
[
key1
[key2
[key3]]]”.
Each
key is an X11 keysym name as shown by
xev(1), like “Delete”. It may optionally start
with modifiers for things like Control, in which case
key looks like
mod-keysym
(for example “C-Delete” for Ctrl+Delete or
“C-1-Delete” for Ctrl+Alt+Delete)
Available modifiers are
C for
Control,
S for Shift and
1,
4 for Mod1 and
Mod4.
Specifying an
action without any keys unbinds it (i.e. the
default bindings are removed).
For a list of the
action names, see
KEYS.
KEYS¶
In an image window, the following keys may be used (The strings in [square
brackets] are the config action names):
- a [toggle_actions]
- Toggle actions display (see
--draw-actions)
- A [toggle_aliasing]
- Enable/Disable anti-aliasing
- c [toggle_caption]
- Caption entry mode. If --caption-path has
been specified, then this enables caption editing. The caption at the
bottom of the screen will turn yellow and can be edited. Hit return to
confirm and save the caption, or escape to cancel editing. Note that you
can insert an actual newline into the caption using
⟨CTRL+return⟩.
- e [toggle_exif]
- (only if compiled with exif=1) Toggle EXIF tag display
- d [toggle_filenames]
- Toggle filename display (see
--draw-filename)
- f [save_filelist]
- Save the current filelist to a unique filename
- h [toggle_pause]
- Pause/Continue the slideshow. When it is paused, it will
not automatically change slides based on
--slideshow-delay.

direction will make them go away. See jpegtran(1) for
more about lossless JPEG rotation.
- _ [flip]
- In place editing - vertical flip
- | [mirror]
- In place editing - horizontal flip. Again, see

This works like the keys config file: the entries are of the form
“
action
[
binding]”.
Each
binding is a button name. It may optionally start
with modifiers for things like Control, in which case
binding looks like
mod-button
(for example C-1 for Ctrl + Left button).
For the available modifiers, see
KEYS CONFIGURATION SYNTAX.
In an image window, the following buttons may be used (The strings in [square
brackets] are the config action names):
- [reload]
- Reload current image
- 1 ⟨left mouse
button⟩ [pan]
- pan the current image
- 2 ⟨middle mouse
button⟩ [zoom]
- Zoom the current image
- 3 ⟨right mouse
button⟩ [menu]
- Toggle menu

down⟩ [prev]
- Show previous image
- 5 ⟨mousewheel
up⟩ [next]
- Show next image
- Ctrl+1 [blur]
- Blur current image
- Ctrl+2 [rotate]
- Rotate current image
MOUSE ACTIONS¶
When viewing an image, by default mouse button 1 pans (moves the image around)
or, when only clicked, moves to the next image (slideshow mode only); button 2
zooms (click and drag left->right to zoom in, right->left to zoom out,
click once to restore zoom to 100%); and mouse button 3 opens the menu.
CTRL+Button 1 blurs or sharpens the image (drag left to blur, right to sharpen);
CTRL+Button 2 rotates the image around the center point.
A note about pan and zoom modes: In pan mode, if you reach a window border but
haven't yet panned to the end of the image,
feh will warp
your cursor to the opposite border so you can continue panning.
When clicking the zoom button and immediately releasing it, the image will be
back at 100% zoom. When clicking it and moving the mouse while holding the
button down, the zoom will be continued at the previous zoom level. The zoom
will always happen so that the pixel on which you entered the zoom mode
remains stationary. So, to enlarge a specific part of an image, click the zoom
button on that part.
SIGNALS¶
In slideshow mode,
feh handles the following signals:
SIGUSR1
- Switch to next image
SIGUSR2
- Switch to previous image
USAGE EXAMPLES¶
Here are some examples of useful option combinations. See also:
⟨http://feh.finalrewind.org/examples/⟩
- feh /opt/images
- Show all images in /opt/images
- feh -r /opt/images
- Recursively show all images found in /opt/images and
subdirectories
- feh -rSfilename
/opt/images
- Same as above, but sort by filename. By default, feh will
show files in the order it finds them on the hard disk, which is usually
somewhat random.
- feh -t -Sfilename -E 128 -y
128 -W 1024 /opt/images
- Show 128x128 pixel thumbnails, limit window width to 1024
pixels.
- feh -t -Sfilename -E 128 -y
128 -W 1024 -P -C /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/ -e DejaVuSans/8
/opt/images
- Same as above, but enable thumbnail caching in
~/.thumbnails and use a smaller font.
- feh -irFarial/14 -O index.jpg
/opt/images
- Make an index print of /opt/images and all directories
below it, using 14 point Arial to write the image info under each
thumbnail. Save the image as index.jpg and don't display it, just exit.
Note that this even works without a running X server
- feh --unloadable -r
/opt/images
- Print all unloadable images in /opt/images,
recursively
- feh -f by_width -S width
--reverse --list .
- Write a list of all images in the directory to by_width,
sorted by width (widest images first)
- feh -w
/opt/images/holidays
- Open each image in /opt/images/holidays in its own
window

TILING WINDOW MANAGERS¶
feh was created with a floating window layout in mind.
However, as of 2.0.1, it has limited support for tiling window managers.
Specifically, the
--scale-down and
--auto-zoom options will detect a tiling environment and
scale the image up / down to the current window size. Unfortunately, this
causes every image to be rendered twice: First in a normal fashion, and then
(after noticing that the window is being tiled) again with the correct zoom
level.
This is a known bug and will hopefully get fixed some time. For now, it can be
avoided by using
--geometry 500x500 (or any other geometry).
This will have the same behaviour as
--scale-down, but
without the flickering.
DEPENDENCIES¶
feh requires the
jpegtran binary (usually
distributed in “libjpeg-progs” or similar) for lossless rotation.
To view images from URLs such as
http://, you need
feh
compiled with libcurl support (enabled by default). See the
VERSION section.
BUGS¶
In a Xinerama setup, fullscreen mode only works properly on screen 0. Set
XINERAMA_SCREEN
to the correct screen number or toggle
fullscreen off, then on as a workaround.
Thumbnail mode is somewhat inefficient, and because of that not nearly as fast
as it could be.
REPORTING BUGS¶
If you find a bug, please report it to ⟨derf@finalrewind.org⟩ or
via ⟨http://github.com/derf/feh/issues⟩. You are also welcome to
direct any feh-related comments/questions/... to #feh on irc.oftc.net.
Please include the feh version ⟨the output of “feh
--version”⟩, steps to reproduce the bug and, if necessary, images
to reproduce it.
FUTURE PLANS¶
Plans for the following releases:
- Make zoom options more
intuitive
