This is a tiny extension that reverts Chrome’s image viewer back to how it was before Chrome 56: No more stupid black background and centered image.
Update for version 0.0.2:
– Local files now work
– All image files should work, regardless of file extension
No longer works, really hoping for an update, was great to have.
EDIT 23/11/2020: Stopped working with Chrome 87 🙁
Thank you so much for this! It’s completely stupid displaying the images centred on a black background. I use Chrome for work (web dev) and I need to be able to just view the images like a normal person instead of that dumb arty centring nonsense.
No longer works
Guys you need to fix this. Extension doesnt work anymore, after the recent chrome update.
Was great until it suddenly stopped working. Haven’t been able to find the issue and the lack of updates is worrying.
Extension worked well until latest chrome update, now images no longer uncenter. Please update ASAP.

EDIT Sept. 11, 2019: Worked for a while, but as of today, is in need of another update.
EDIT 2, Nov. 18, 2020: Somehow fixed itself shortly after last edit, but as of today is in need of another update.
the best image vewer ever seen in my life i loved it can vew images on all sites keep this going forever and ever i give this 6 stars
Extension stopped working and chrome started to recenter the webpage images …. please fix this
This extension only seems to work when the image is opened to 100% zoom, any other setting and it reverts to the black background and centered format. I’m not sure if this is due to an incompatibility with another extension I’ve got or if it’s due to a Chrome update.
Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to bring back the old image tab setting for a while now but kept forgetting about it until now. This takes me back!
This stopped working! Please fix it! It didn’t even work on every site to begin with 🙁
It stopped working suddenly. The images are showing in the center again. I hope you fix this soon.
Loved it up until today when it stopped working. Chrome also just updated, so hopefully this app will be updated soon too.
Does exactly what it says it does. Thank you so much, 5 stars.
The option for it to also work with local files should be more clearly labelled in the options though – and a mention of it should be made on the main webstore page too, since this is easy to miss.
Thanks !
I like having the images back in the left upper corner, but I wish it removed the ugly checker background from the transparent images as well.
Thanks Devs! this one works, hate that black bg to see images.
Thank god there is something like that..
Why Google decided to imitate the failing Firefox with this strange, anti-minimalist anti-clean change, the world may never know.
Works like a charm! At first I was a bit disappointed because it did take away the black background but the image was still centered.Then I realized the Pinterest extension is what was centering the image.
It would be great if I didn’t have to disable the Pinterest extension for this to work 100% but hey, I’d rather disable Pinterest than have all images centered on a black background. Totally recommend it!
The extension removes the black background, but will not uncenter the image.
EDIT: Just figured out that the Pinterest extension is the cause of the image not uncentering. When disabled, the image uncenters like it should.
Good, but doesn’t always work fully. Some domains like Imgur work properly, but others like Tumblr will have the image re-center itself (though with a white border).
Thanks!!
Hermano!
a big thanks for this
saved me
it was killing me
Vdaka!
Works as advertised.
Now would you please make an extension to help us revert back to non-material design? And get rid of Avatar button? And remove “Print” option from right-click menu when text is selected? And restore “Backspace” as the default hotkey for “Back” action? And…
Wait. I guess it’s time to change browsers.
