IrfanView passed every Tiny Treasure test with flying colors. It is fast and easy to download (just 1.10 Mb), easy to install (just double click on the downloaded file), easy to use, useful, and FUN! It won't crash or bog down your system either.
And By God... it STILL works great with Windows 8!
IrfanView is a terrific little graphic viewer. It will open just about any graphic known to computers and can really come in handy when your well meaning friends send you their latest vacation snapshots. If you have a scanner, you can use IrfanView as the first and last stop for scanning and saving your favorite photos. Make sure your photos are .jpg files for easy sending via email (get back at your friends).
The neatest trick this little gem does is allow you to choose any graphic file you want for your wallpaper! You don't have to open each image to see what it is. A handy little thumbnail view will appear at the bottom of the viewer window each time you click an image file once. Double click any image in IrfanView to view it full sized, click Options, then choose Set as Wallpaper. You can center your picture on the screen, tile it, or choose the previous wallpaper you were using. If all you use it for is wallpaper changing, it will be more than worth the few minutes it takes to download it.
If you have a special graphics folder full of favorites, you will appreciate the Slideshow feature. Click the little Slideshow button to the right of the open file folder. Click the directory (folder) where your graphics are stored and choose the ones you want to display. There are lots of other settings you can fiddle with in this window. Have a ball! You can't hurt a thing. When you have things just the way you want, click the Play button and enjoy your handiwork!
In the newest version, the Slideshow feature has an additional twist. You can now save your favorite photos and other graphics as a separate standalone Screensaver (.scr file) to use on your own computer and share with your friends. Just put the resulting .scr file in your Windows folder and it will be available as a screensaver choice with the rest of your screensavers. Neat huh?
You can spend hours exploring this little program and all it will do for you. Learn a little about the author who made it possible by clicking Help at the top of the window or visiting his website. You will find that he is an Austrian programmer with an interesting sense of humor. He lets you know right away that this software is FREE to enjoy and share for personal use. Drop him an email and let him know you appreciate his fine work!
