Why do I need an image viewer?

You can also edit photos with IrfanView and it works especially well for simple tasks like resizing, converting, or optimizing. An image viewer like IrfanView can save you time because they are snap to use.

Can I apply effects like "Auto Adjust Colors" to multiple images at once?

Yes, IrfanView supports batch processing for effects. Navigate to File > Batch Conversion/Rename, enable Use advanced options, and select the desired effects, such as "Auto adjust colors". This feature is particularly useful when working with large numbers of images
