Alternatives to ACDSee Photo Studio for all platforms with any license

IrfanView

Fast, compact image viewer, editor, converter and organizer designed to be simple but powerful.
- It already 2019, and ACDSee still does not support images larger than 100 million pixels, for which I have to give up. IrfanView is OK, at least for large images. Guest • Dec 2018
- InfranView will not let you view images (or thumbnails) in a folder... its for viewing one file at a time. There is a Thumbnails feature, which is kind of similar, but not really the same thing. Navigating is a PITA. Guest • Jul 2017 • 5 agrees and 7 disagrees
- Ease to use, with enough options for no pro users. Ah, and it´s really lightweight! Guest • Dec 2016 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees
- ACDSee as a suite is so much more, but it is difficult to NOT compare one of the most popular "viewers" of all time to IrfanView. It would be wrong imo to not show those looking for an alternative VIEWER to ACDSee, IrfanView. menace97 • Dec 2015 • 6 agrees and 0 disagrees

ACDsee 2.41 was a fast, smooth & elegant image viewer that supported most image formats.
Since then it became bloated and slower due to unwanted features.

All I want is a fast elegant full-screen image viewer that I can flip through easily with a few key presses. Fast loading, Fast viewing, no-image distortion when reducing large images, low memory use.

Newer versions of ACDsee are bloated monsters compared to what it once was. IrfanView doesn't cut it either as it's ugly, slow and not user friendly at all.

ACDSee certainly has gotten more and more bloated over the years, although I still find it difficult to beat when it comes to a viewer with the alternatives out there - free or not - but, I thought I would mention that version 3.X was not bloated in any way - it seemed to do so after 3.1 or 3.2. So using ACDSee 3.X is the very best option for myself, although I did really like 2.43 as well.

ACDSee used to be the best image viewer but got the featuritis virus. It lost all of its slickness.
