image viewer IrfanView is probably the most popular and feature packed free image viewer for Windows. It has been around for many years and keeps getting better. In addition to standard image viewing, it includes many additional features including slideshow, batch conversion, image adjustment, image editing, resizing, panorama stitching, auto EXIF rotation and more. The functionality can be further extended via plug-ins that are widely available. With IrfanView even some basic features like EXIF display, lossless rotation etc. require you to download and install additional plug-ins. Although there certainly are more user-friendly and more attractive image viewers available, few offer all the functionality and extendability that IrfanView can provide.

FYI: During our review, we found that this program offers to install promotional, third party components. Installation of these components is completely optional Read our policy.

Great! 5 stars by Raverx (Read all my 10 reviews)
Yay! Finally, some software that will quickly and easily create .ico files. Now I can change those boring stock manilla-folder Windows XP directory icons to those of my own choosing. Why didn't Microsoft think of this? showShow review details
Must have 5 stars by Keysmith (Read all my 4 reviews)
For quick view and basic editing i cannot thing of a better option. Simple, fast and able to open and manipulate numerous formats. Excellent for batch jobs (scans, resizes, watermark adding). One needs two programs for image editing. Irfanview is the first. The other would be perhaps photoshop for more advanced editing. Must have also for web developers due to extremely fast and efficient crops, resizes, rotates and other basic editing. PS. Remember to install plug-ins package for more features. showShow review details
Very good, but many shortcomings 3 stars by FlatTop (Read all my 2 reviews)
This popular viewer is small and fast, and can do many useful things. However, the separate browser/viewer design can be distracting to some users. To randomly view a large number of photos, you have to constantly shuttle between the 2 windows, since there is no preview function in the browser, and the 2 windows cannot be synchronized. Although thumbnail size is selectable, the selection is limited to fixed square layout; and there is a lot of wasted space between thumbnails. If you want to preview a large number of photos, try XnView. XnView has an excellent preview function, allows you to set thumbnail size in any way, is infinitely configurable. If you have a dual-monitor, you can even fill one screen entirely with thumbnails and instantly view a picture in the other! showShow review details
