David FischerThey are fast and can display almost every picture format plus offer extras. Modern picture viewers can cope with huge photo collections and below you can find the best free viewing tools in 2022 for you.
We live in the age of digital photography and only storage space limits the number of images we store. With ever larger hard drives and memory cards, the flood of images also grows all the time. In order not to lose the overview, modern picture viewers have to do a lot: Despite large amounts of data, they should be fast, know every file format and present the desired picture as quickly as possible.
They should also be slim, and ideally free of charge. Users also welcome functionality such as slide show capabilities or batch processing for quick editing. We have collected the most popular freeware image viewers of 2022 below. Some of the programs can even open music and video files, create slide shows or convert pictures.
