Rowita has hit the nail on the head folks... this program is on my thumbdrive wherever I go :D

The things that make so awesome for me are:

It's a very small program

It opens pretty much any image format

It's free!

You can run it without installing it (handy for use on other people's computers)

It has tons of keyboard shortcuts for advanced usage

It can acquire images from a TWAIN scanner... so no more funky scanning interfaces (yay!)

This is one of my must-have softwares. Thanks for mentioning it Rowita :)

same here, i have it on a burned cd I give to family everytime a new family meber buys a computer. But what I like is the different textures you can put on the picutres. They may be simple, they are fun you can make a lot of cool effects :)

I prefer XnView cause it supports most if not all file extensions so it can view any image you have with any format .. and you can use it to convert between the formats too + it's free
