Windows photo viewer. Use the activation script

>>107268101
I still just use the legacy windows 7 photo viewer for most formats.
You can enable it with a registry tweak, the .reg file is a quick search away.

Same here, I love being able to drag the imagea around from any part of it, not just the title tab, and without having to press Ctrl like some cattle.

This is the answer, it's absolutely worth the time to set up and mogs every other photo viewer I've seen shilled here. Enshittification is real

Is there anything like JPEGView but with fluent design? Yes I know I'm a faggot.

Have any of you tried this?

seems similar to jpegview very minimalistic. UI looks similar to Linux

In that case I just fall back on the default viewer
>actually no support for any format other than jpg, bmp and png
Which is 99% of what you need. Also the odd old format like TIFF, not that it matters much.
>terrible caching, gets really slow in folders with a lot of files
In my experience it has always been equally fast even in folders with thousands of images.
>ugly control bars visible at all time
No worse than the default viewer
>useless boomer features like "slide show" or "email image" or "burn data disc" lmao
Because useless zoomer features like ads and AI integration are so much better.
>often fails to display images that load in Paint or any other image editor without problems
I've only had a single instance of this. In fact, it can load images others can't because it mostly doesn't give a damn about corruption.

It's on every windows computer and can be enabled in seconds. It loads faster, doesn't waste your time with animations, and allows you to zoom in much farther with sharp edges.
I'm sure there are thirdparty ones that are better, but I can't be fucked when it's so easy and does basically everything I want. It's competition is the default "modern" one and it absolutely blows it out of the water.

If 99% of the images you save on your hard drive are from 4chan
Is browsing 4chan practically the only thing you do with your life?

No, I use Nomacs because I view avif and webp images

>>107271062
Photos app actually bricked itself randomly on a user's PC so I just turned on W7 photo viewer for him and called it a day. Thank you Windows 7.

Damn, have fun with your shitty transcoded samples
Basically nobody uses those outside of lossy conversions by cheapskate CDNs

>>107268101
On 10 LTSC I just used the K-lite mega codec pack + ImageGlass.

>>107272505
same but Bandiview and its up to date (free pro version)

>>107276321
Do you also call VP9, AV1 and H265 shitty just because ancient software doesn't support them?

Nope, they work pretty well for their purpose.
Still images can't get away with multiple frames to hide artifacts, there are different tradeoffs. Abusing a video codec to horribly crush images is just plain bad, especially if you layer it with existing artifacts by converting a jpeg.
If people actually used webp/avif as the source format, especially lossless webp which is actually decent, I probably wouldn't complain. But nobody uses it like that, and you can be damn sure if you encounter one in the wild it's a conversion of another format degraded to hell and back just to save a few KB.

This and Faststone Image Viewer are the only correct answers
>>
PIcasa was almost perfect.
The only issue I have with it is that it does some weird scaling in how it renders the stuff behind the overlay in which the image preview is embedded.
