Pros
1. Versatility: IrfanView supports a vast array of image, video, and audio formats, allowing users to open and edit many different file types within a single streamlined application.
2. Lightweight: The software has a small footprint and is resource-efficient, which means it loads quickly and runs smoothly, even on older or less powerful computers.
3. Freeware: IrfanView is free for personal use, making it accessible for users who need a robust image viewer and editor without the expense of commercial software.
Cons
1. Limited Advanced Features: IrfanView is lightweight and fast, but it may lack some of the advanced editing capabilities and filters found in more comprehensive photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop.
2. User Interface: The interface can feel dated and may not be as intuitive or visually appealing compared to modern software, potentially leading to a steeper learning curve for new users.
3. Windows-Centric: IrfanView is primarily designed for Windows operating systems. While it can be run on other platforms using compatibility layers like Wine, it is not natively supported, which may inconvenience Mac and Linux users.
