@@ -20,6 +20,7 @@ An unofficial GUI for setting wallpapers with multiple backends, built with GTK4
 - **Cli args** - Hyprwall supports command line arguments, to view these type **`hyprwall --help`**, **--restore** is one of them, if you wish you can restore your last used wallpaper in the gui with this argument.
 - **GIF support** - Hyprwall supports GIFs, but only if the **swww** backend is used.
 - **Search functionality** - Hyprwall has search functionality that can filter through your wallpapers in real time.
+- **Previewable images** - Hyprwall can preview images at a much larger scale via right clicking on an image: it will bring up a preview window.
 - **Supports swaybg, swww, wallutils, feh, and hyprpaper** - Hyprwall supports a variety of wallpaper backends, so you can use it with your preferred wallpaper tool.
