An overview of IrfanView shows why this free graphic viewer is a leader in digital imaging software.

IrfanView is well known the world over for being one of the most popular non-commercial freeware software products. Along with this, it is the number one free graphic viewer available.

At the time of writing, the latest version of IrfanView is 4.27. This graphic viewer works with many operating systems including Windows 7, XP, Vista, 2000, NT, ME, and 9x. By working quickly and efficiently with a large range of file types, both for photos and videos, users can perform many functions. In addition to the basic ability to view images and videos, you can also create screensavers and slide shows, along with music, which can be played on any PC.

Have you ever spent hour after hour performing the same function on many different files? If so, IrfanView can help you avoid this issue in the future. With batch processing, you will never again have to waste time performing the same function over and over again. While often times overlooked, it is important to note that IrfanView supports many images formats including GIF, PNG, JPEG, BMP, and TIFF. This is in addition to non-image files such as MPEG, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Flash, and MIDI.

Finally, and maybe most importantly, IrfanView supports more than 20 languages. No matter what language you speak, there is a very good chance that you will be able to use this software program.

All of these features have gone a long way in making IrfanView one of the most popular freeware products in the world.
