Professional photographers and designers often need to preview large groups of image files quickly. Even IT professionals working in a non-creative environment occasionally need to perform basic edits to images or convert many images as a batch job. For jobs like these, the image viewing software bundled with Windows just doesn't cut it. Enter the IrfanView graphic viewer. Is it the Right Tool for the Job?

Read a concise summary of IrfanView's strengths and weaknesses.

This is what you see what you see when you start IrfanView for the first time.
