Fave freeware, Irfan View

Just to get some experience with blogging I am going to start by posting about one of my favorite things in life, freewares! Freewares are completely free software, with no strings attached, many of them are completely wonderful. I will post one or two freeware recommendations every day, hopefully you will find them useful.

Now, to start with....

Irfan view
For some reason Irfan View immediately springs to mind when I'm thinking about favorite freeware. I don't know whether that makes it my all time favorite freeware, but it must be pretty close.

Irfan View is a simple image viewing and editing program. It supports all the graphic file types you'd expect, JPG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PCX etc., and other file types you wouldn't expect (like MP3!) It can convert between these formats with ease. It can do screen capture, rotate, resize, and crop images, generate thumbnail views, work with scanners, and has a good, flexible print option. It can do lots of other things, but I am not going to list them all or I'd be here all day. It's a prety small download too. All those features for less than 1 MB.
