Editorial Review of IrfanView

It's this simple: If you ever use graphics for almost any reason, you need this program. It's small, it's fast, it's free, and it does its work better than any competitor. What more can I say?

Irfanview's main task is to view graphics files, and it does a superb job of it. You can view just about any file format you can imagine, and display it lightning fast. It can also display thumbnails, show your files as slideshows, and play multimedia files. Given that it's a file viewer, the program also includes a surprising number of graphics editing tools, including adding effects and cropping. And if you need to convert files from one format to another, it can't be beat. It's particularly effective at batch-converting large groups of files.

Note: This program is donationware. It is free to try, but the author accepts and encourages donations towards further development.

Overall Evaluation: As a free software, it's very good and highly recommended.

Duration of ownership: 3 Months

Strengths: great program, very comprehensive. not much it can't view.

Weaknesses: it's only a small part of the picture.

Overall Evaluation: Not a bad program, but I like XNVIEW better. kinda like a mix of this and ACDSee, with photoshop plugin support and great photo tools!

Duration of ownership: 5 Months

Strengths: Ease of use and flexibility. You don't need an advance graphics degree to view and make basic modifications to your images.

Weaknesses: None for me. However, I use XNView for browsing folders and generating HTML files of groups of images.

Overall Evaluation: Excellent and free of charge - great for the non-professional.

Duration of ownership: 8 Years

Strengths: Strengths? It's a cinch to resize and - while it's reliable - it can perform simple tasks that other - more sophisticated photo editing programs just can't do. I've used it for years and - as an artist - it's become something I can't do without! It's way simple to use.

Weaknesses: Well - it's not sophisticated as are programs like Photoshop - but such programs can be snarky in my estimation (I also have Elements).

Overall Evaluation: You can't go wrong - and look at the price. I call it 'Irfan' and it's definitely user friendly.

Duration of ownership: 10 Years

Strengths: FAST photo edits, viewing, batch processing. Very feature rich.

Weaknesses: It's not Photoshop (which is slow, but better for very serious picture editing). Also, some more powerful features do require thought to use. Redeye feature doesn't work well.

Overall Evaluation: Irfanview is underappreciated, because it started as just a file viewer. As an amateur photographer, I couldn't live without this program. When I take lots of pics somewhere, my main concerns are: auto-rotate sideways ones, view them, delete bad ones, crop, exposure etc. adjust, fine rotation when I didn't shoot straight, then rename using date & time so they're auto-sorted in with other camera pics of the event. Doing that with most programs would take for FOREVER. Irfanview even has a shortcut to load the pic. into Photoshop for me when I'm willing to take the time to do stuff like eliminate skin blemishes or redeye fixes. Learn a few keyboard shortcuts, and Irfanview lets you quickly make most of the changes you want for the whole series of pics. Just hit to delete bad ones. G to adjust contrast, saturation, brightness with quick slider bars. S to sharpen. Batch processing takes a bit to figure out, because it's so powerful. If you haven't been cropping your pics, you'll be amazed at how much better they look when you cut out the distracting elements.
