imageoverview 2026.5.25.2

A script to quickly browse through all the images under a given directory, and generate PDFs of selected images.

This script makes it easy to scan a given directory for images or videos.

Found images are displayed in a browser like Chrome or Firefox in a NxM grid, making it possible to browse through a large number of images quickly.

User can go to the next or previous pages by using the arrow keys.

Users can also select a subset of images to download as a PDF file.

The script detects newly created images using a filesystem observer, and and adds them to the pipeline for vewing.

To install:

$ pip install imageoverview

To run:

$ imageoverview -d ~/Pictures

See images in a 10x15 grid for wider monitors:
