I was tempted to use the <a href="http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm" rel="nofollow">Image Viewer</a> as my main app, but I found I really loved the borderless window and uncluttered, simple viewer. Hit enter to go in and out of full screen, click and drag to zoom and pan, and escape to close. Here’s a vote for Fastone Max View.

And it's the fastest image viewer that I have come across till date. i challenge anyone on that. simply because its an old version running on a latest PC. anyone else uses ACDSee?? i use ACD See… however i use an old version, V2.44. at that time (about 5yrs back) it was free. since i need a image viewer only to VIEW images, ACDSee does its job.

The only thing I wish it could do in one or two clicks is drop shadow. I have never figured out how to do that in IrfanView, and have to go to another program for that.

Although I don't usually edit photos the Photoshop way, sometimes I have to do simple things, like make a square icon (avatar), change the format of a photo an so on. For those purposes, it's perfect. Also, it's portable ^_^ My mom is an old school computer-geek [she graduated computer science faculty in the 80s] and she always insisted on simple programs like IrfanView and Total Commander... *dreams* I’m also an IrfanView fan.

We haven't covered it yet on this site so I'll see if it could make a good article! I think they both sound about the same, one may just be tweaked in a slightly different direction than the other.

It supports at least as many file formats as Irfanview, with excellent view and customization and editing options, but it's leaner, cleaner and faster, plus it gives me configurable contextmenu-embedded previews when using other file managers instead of the miserable Win Explorer. For me, XnView is just the best no-nonsense image viewer. I absolutely prefer XnView, for the same reasons as RSS above.
