# Open pictures in the image viewer by default

If you want to make the image viewer the default program that opens certain image file types:

In Files, right click the file and choose Properties.

Go to the Open With tab. A list of Recommended Applications will appear.

Select the Image Viewer and click Set as default.

If Image Viewer is not on the Recommended Applications list, select it from the Other Applications list and click Set as default.

Close the dialog.

In future, when you double-click a file of the same type, it will open up in the image viewer.
