Irfanview

IrfanView (pronounced EarfanView) is an extremely fast, small  and rock-solid program for editing digital images. IrfanView has been developed by Irfan Skiljan, a Bosnia-born software developer, who has kept it free, ever since the first version was released to the public. IrfanView's popularity is rising by the day - since 2003, it is consistently being downloaded over 1 million times every month!

IrfanView is updated periodically, with new features being added on, based on user feedback and global trends. IrfanView has many firsts: it was the first Windows-based graphic viewer with Multiple (animated) GIF support, one of the first graphic viewers with Multipage TIF support and the first graphic viewer with Multiple ICO support. In the words of its creator, "IrfanView is trying to create new and/ or interesting features in its own way"

It is a measure of IrfanView's popularity, that it is downloadable from a number of 'mirror sites' across the world, including the redoubtable CNet.com, TUCOWS.Com, SoftPedia.com, Software.com, etc! Despite its features, the core of IrfanView is packed in under 1.5 MB, with its plug-ins coming in at another 7.5 MB...

IrfanView serves almost all our digital image editing needs at WellOiledPC. We love it for its speed, ease of operations, simplicity and rock-solid stability. So if you have a collection of digital photographs crying out to be edited/ touched up, look no further!
