KennethWilhelmssonnomacs is so far the best contender to irfanview. You can go through images and delete or keep. Scale and cut. Having some trouble with paste, but I hope that is a setting. Or an yet undiscovered feature.
2No bloated user interface.

s0me0neOpen source, supports more formats than any other viewer
0casey-likes-open-sauceThis was pretty good for awhile. But now brings up an extra window every time it is opened to tell you to BUY off the Microsoft Store for updates. On top of that, is taking up to 15 seconds to open a 60kb jpeg. Uninstalled.

Is qView a good alternative to IrfanView?Comments about qView as an Alternative to IrfanView
IrfanView is not a simple viewer. Take all of what qView does away from IrfanView and you still have a complete program. qView appears to be a good program just not an alternative to IrfanView.
0Only processes single images, no way to look at folders or organize.

Comments about XnView MP as an Alternative to IrfanView
XnView has dozens of tools and filters for fast image editing, as well as an integrated file manager with several functions to organize images. Besides everything runs on both Windows and Linux. It's a bit slow compared to Irfanview, but it's still one of the best programs of its kind.
After enabling the "Show files in subfolders" option, it crashes with tens of thousands of images. IrfanView in the same situation works flawlessly (apart from the fact that it does not save the generated thumbnails to the database for quick reuse).
one can't even delete images in fullscreen
