Irfanview 4 - Best Image Viewer

October 11th, 2007 by Ashfame

It seems that you are new here. You may want to sign up for e-mail updates or subscribe to my RSS feeds. Thanks for visiting!

irfanview4Irfanview is the best image viewing software I have come across till date and I can surely say that anyone who has tried it must have sticked to it for image viewing and as a light image editing tool. Being a freeware it offers extensive features such as multi-language support, thumbnail option, slideshow, toolbar skins, fast directory browsing, batch conversion/editing, multipage editing, file search, change color depth, scanning, cut/crop, IPTC edit, capturing screenshot, lossless JPG operations, effects (sharpen, blur, Adobe Photoshop filters), EXE/SCR creating, many hotkeys, command line options and plugins.

It is the most fast image viewer I have ever used. With the help of plugins it can also play many types of media files. If you are a regular user or a user who does not have extensive work with image editing, this software will do all the jobs satisfactorily.

Pros:

  • Fast Loading time
  • Light on resources
  • Supports almost every image format
  • Skin support for changing the toolbar icons (get rid of the ugly look)
  • Plugins support for playing media files

Cons:

  • None

I used Irfanview for all my image editing stuff. You can expect some tutorials for image stuff you can do with it in the upcoming days. The setup just has a size of just 1.1MB

    I agree, IrfanView is the best image viewer. I had used it since some years ago :-)

    I have used it about a year and a half now and it`s still the best! It should be redesigned now for Vista and it would be perfect if it had a function to make panoramic photos! Anyway, I love it!
