IrfanView is a simple and easy-to-use image viewing tool and a small footprint application that touches up any digital image, alters the colors, adds effects, changes the image size, crops, combines, and adds filters and watermarks. Above all, it creates slideshows of our unforgettable events that can be easily shared with other people who can enjoy it as a standalone.

What is IrfanView for Windows?

We used the software on multiple photos and images. On some, we applied filters and effects. While doing so, it was easy to get good results really quickly. The quick menu selection allows us to easily play with image colors. With no more than a couple of clicks, you can apply a wide range of filters and effects.

IrfanView for Windows 10 makes it easy to combine multiple images into a slideshow. You can then share the executable file with your loved ones who can enjoy it as a standalone. Similarly, you can add a watermark to an image to identify a picture as yours in order to stop others from stealing your photos.

Adding the watermark is easy. All you have to do is define the watermark. Then you can select the image of your choice and it will add a watermark to it. When we talk about editing images, we can use IrfanView to create new images such as splitting one into tiles whose dimensions you set and then combining images to create panoramas.

You can also write and draw on images and pictures using a simple set of paint tools such as brush, line, shape, and fill tools to make personalize it to your liking. IrfanView for PC will also scan images directly from your scanner. This way you do not need to go through a separate scanning application.

One of the features we liked was the option to go to other editors. For example, if you find your creativity limited using the IrfanView image editor, you can open an image in another image editor from within IrfanView.

We could add plugins to allow for specialized features. The IrfanView plugins provide additional features, such as reading filenames with Unicode characters, burning files to CD/DVD/BD, reading original camera files, etc. Add in skinnable toolbars and support for plugins and you’ve got the Swiss Army Knife of images. It’s brilliant.

The software can open and read almost any exciting graphic format: JPG, PNG, GIF, TIF, BMP, RAW, PDF, B3D, CAM, ICO, JP2, JLS, HDR, PMB, etc. For opening some formats, you may require to install the plugin pack.

As to the output, the software can save files in BMP, DIP, ECW, EMF, EXR, GIF, ICO, JP2, JPG/JPEG, JLS, JPM, PBM, PCX, PDF, PGM, PNG, PPM, TGA, TIF, WebP.

Besides images, IrfanView can open audio and video files: MP3, OGG, WAV, AVI, MKV, MOV, MP4, WEBM, TS, MTS, WMV, WMA, and MPEG. The video player looks very plain. Besides the timeline, there are only Play/Pause and Previous buttons. Editing options for video and audio aren’t available.

The Interface is Plain & Utilitarian

It seems that it was not updated since the first release of the software. The simple user interface is relatively easy for newcomers to be productive really quickly, and there are no distracting visual aspects to the general look and feel of IrfanView. But on the other hand, some will think the look is very old-fashioned and unlit.

How Does IrfanView Compare with other Image Viewers?

We scrolled through many graphic viewers, like FastStone image viewer, but, most of them are often a little difficult to fully understand and not all Window photo viewers are free to use. Therefore, a simple and easy-to-use photo viewer is IrfanView Image Editor for Windows PC.
