Any Ideas for a light Image viewer?

[Chronigan]

Hello.

 

I am looking for a light image viewer. I don't need it to do anything else but view images and load quickly. I would use Windows photo galary but it can't handle animated gifs. I've looked at infran view but found all the options and abilities detract from simply viewing images.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

XnView's another one that's similar to InfranView, can customize what's visible (tabs, toolbars, etc), can dumb it down to just a frame if that's what you want. Not 100% but reasonably sure InfranView can do the same.. been a while, under the view menu if I recall.  Turn everything off.

Faststone Image Viewer  can play animated gifs... no problem.

Honeyview is pretty basic but still a nice image viewer. You can autohide all the controls to give it a minimalistic interface.

We use Irfanview at work.  1.5mb install.

I use FastStone MaxView 2.2 here (the last version that was free for non-commercial use).

 

Plays animated gifs fine and is only a 1.5mb download. You can also copy the exe anywhere and it will display most of the supported formats (raw formats use extra dlls which are installed with the app).

Thanks guys, I am going with Honeyview. Nice, simple, and I can customize the mouse buttons.

FastStone Image viewer is best. But it adds unneeded context menus everywhere.

I use Faststone Maxview. It is free, opens the photos quickly and in full screen with no toolbars or any other clutter.

 

Edit: I just checked and apparently version 2.2 was the last free version but it works perfectly fine.

I hope you are using it legally then http://www.irfanview.com/eula.htm

 

Irfanview is not free for business use.

on windows i always relied on xnview don't know if it's still one of the best in that regard.

 

now i would heavily recomand gwenview which is KDE based and the default viewer in kubuntu. very fast, lot's of plugins optionally.

why not giving it a try? it's doable with andLinux  :)
