Looking for an open-source alternative for image viewing so I can get rid of the AI‑embedded Windows Photos. I did some research and I'm trying IrfanView, but it needs separate plugins for AVIF, WebP, etc. Nomacs' last update was 2020. I'm going to try ImageGlass and XnView, but I wonder if there is some software that's more widely recommended - like VLC, but for images.

@PiraHxCx Unless something new has come along to beat it, #ImageMagick is prolly the best tool there is. It ain't perty, but it does perty much everything you might ever need.

For viewing? :S I tried it for batch conversion and I was very disappointed it somehow skipped files on big batches, but I didn't find a way to view images with it - I mean, trying to open an image with its .exe does nothing.

@PiraHxCx
For viewing, yes. The command is called display.
