CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
For a free program, this multipurpose image tool strikes us as a good find. Although the main window looks too cluttered at first glance, it's intuitive enough after you get your bearings. FastStone Image Viewer for Windows boasts a nice design already, but you can customize it to your liking with several skins. Clicking a thumbnail puts a larger view of the shot in the lower-left pane, and you zoom in simply by dragging the mouse around. Though its image-editing tools can't compete with those offered by a full-featured suite, there's still enough here to make a decent amount of tweaks to your shots. You can resize, crop, remove red-eye, and adjust color, brightness, and contrast. You'll also find a few simple effects and filters, including Lens, Waves, and Morphs. FastStone Image Viewer for Windows can batch-convert files into a number of popular image formats including GIF, BMP, PSD, and PNG, and the slide-show creator allows you to apply transitions, specify the interval between images, and add your own MP3s as a soundtrack. We can recommend this program to everyone but professional designers.Publisher's description

Version: FastStone Image Viewer 2.2
Pros: It provides tons of tools to get the job done and all of them are great. The program is free!!!
Cons: When resizing some images such as large gif that have transparent backgrounds, it sometimes turns the background of the image grey.

Version: FastStone Image Viewer 2.2
Pros: Nice ideas.
Cons: 2.2 version got noticeably slower due to the continued bloat of this fine program. Slow image viewer equals worthless image viewer.

Version: FastStone Image Viewer 2.2
Pros: ...
Cons: It uses up alot of memory. The button for switching between
thumbnail view/windows view and up-one folder is too small and hard to
reach. When double-clicked, the thumbnail displays in fullscreen, where
as in Acdsee it will display in window view.
