XnView is a group of utilities that features viewing, converting, screen capture, slidshow, and Twain support. These utilities support viewing more than 400 graphic formats and can create 52.

Best image viewer, the only competitor is IrfanView, and XnView is a step ahead (the use of tabs is an advantage). Regarding to Fastone, is nice and fancy but it lacks of many essential features like batch filtering and adjusting during conversion and jpeg lossless transformation (including cropping). XnView is the king for the moment.

I switched from FastStone (which has indeed a lot more features) to XnView because XnView is lightning fast at showing images, and that is the n°1 I want from an image viewer.
Other than that, perhaps the config menu could have some better layout, and some better wordings and pop-over help.

This continues to be the best free graphics viewer available for Windows. Lightning-fast startup time, doesn't force you to use skins, absolutely no contest with Faststone. Irfan comes close but loses in the UI and graphic display speed departments. I run both this and Picasa and will probably continue to do so until XNView supports face recognition *8-)
And my version of ACDsee 3.1 expired so many years ago that I've forgotten whether it's better or not.
Reviewing 1.97 Beta 4 (Nov 25, 2009)
Improved on the last version - but I still find FastStone better laid out and like its features better.
Xn allows for filters and though I haven't tried it has HTML pages but apart from that they have similar powers.
But where Xn takes a couple of steps to get to anything - FastStone has it's tools more accessible.
