IrfanView

IrfanView is a lightweight image viewer that is easy to use while still offering plenty of features for more advanced users, which can be expanded even further by a variety of plugins. If you want to not just view but also edit images, IrfanView is perfect.

Nomacs (Preview)

Nomacs is a simple yet powerful open source image viewer used for the viewing and basic editing of images. However, unlike qView and IrfanView, the latest official release is very outdated, which is why we recommend using the latest preview.

Microsoft Photos

Microsoft Photos is an image viewer made by Microsoft and installed by default on many Windows installs. It has a modern UI and features integrations with OneDrive and iCloud. However, unlike the previously listed options, it does not support all codecs by default, so you may have to download additional codec extensions from the Microsoft Store.
