IrfanView is a fast, simple freeware image viewer and editor that supports all major graphic formats, including BMP, DIB, JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, PNG, PCX, multipage TIFF, TGA, and more. In addition, it features drag-and-drop support, directory viewing, TWAIN support, slide shows, batch conversion, and modifications such as color depth, crop, blur, and sharpen.
The IrfanView PlugIns package offers additional file formats and effects for IrfanView.

A "killer app"... Besides being really fast at viewing lots of formats. Hundreds of options for really exact demands, batch utilities, and features hard to find elsewhere like HQ Lanczos resampling and resizing (PhotoShop does only bicubic), PNGOUT to squash your BMPs to...ad nauseum.. ;) Thanks Irfan!

This is one of the best free image viewer on the market. I also recommend you to take a look at FastStone image viewer. FastStone is also free and has a more friendly user interface but is slower than IrfanView.
