IrfanView can create icons by converting common graphic files into. For slideshow creation, screensaver creation and batch image translations, preset image processing steps can be applied to selected sets of images. These can be saved as stand-alone executables which run on Windows computers without IrfanView installed. IrfanView can create screensavers and slide shows from collections of images with optional accompanying MP3 audio. Slideshows can contain both still images and video clips. The viewer can open in sequence all the image-files and video clips (of most formats, including AVCHD) contained in a folder. While viewing images, there are several fit-to-screen scaling options and an automatic slideshow function. It supports viewing and saving of numerous file types including image formats such as BMP, GIF, JPEG, JP2 & JPM (JPEG2000), PNG (includes the optimizer PNGOUT APNG can be read), TIFF, raw photo formats from digital cameras, ECW (Enhanced Compressed Wavelet), EMF (Enhanced Windows Metafile), FSH (EA Sports format), ICO (Windows icon), PCX (Zsoft Paintbrush), PBM (Portable BitMap), PDF (Portable Document Format), PGM (Portable GrayMap), PPM (Portable PixelMap), TGA (Truevision Targa), WebP, FLIF (Free Lossless Image Format) and viewing of media files such as Flash, Ogg Vorbis, MPEG, MP3, MIDI, and text files. IrfanView is specifically optimized for fast image display and loading times. The basic 32-bit installation of IrfanView occupies 2.36 MB of disk space, and a full install with all optional plugins requires about 16.1 MB – with the 64-bit versions taking up more space.
