XnView is superior to IrfanView in my view, but I did notice that IrfanView is very fast to generate thumbnails, quite impressive. Too bad about the bad looking GUI.

Image Viewer IrfanView 4.60 with new image compare option out
March 19, 2022

 

Sadly enough, IrfanView doesn't support AVIF files and it still hasn't got a thumbnail browser like XnView, is this correct? I decided to check it out because XnView MP has way too may options, IrfanView is a bit more simple, which is good.
