Curious Findings: IrfanView

Program Description
People come across images every day on the internet. Sometimes you save them, sometimes you share them and other times you need to customize them for your site or blog.

Well, there is one program I can’t envision myself having to manage a blog or website without: IrfanView.

IrfanView is what people might consider a “universal” viewer program as it allows you to view pretty much anything – but please remember, IrfanView is really supposed to be a graphic viewer. When you install this application, it takes over from Windows’ default image handler and provides you with powerful tools to manipulate your images with.

This amazing application allows you to view, , , batch process…and do much, much more to files of a surprisingly large number of different types.

If the default supported filetypes isn’t enough for you, you can always take a look at the plugins available for IrfanView.

What do I primarily use IrfanView for? Well, apart from allowing it to replace the Windows default graphic viewer, I am constantly using IrfanView to resize images to post on this blog.
