RJ (ID: 000000b4145c3408) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/18/2023 wish there was a thumbnail file view and scroll for going to next or previous image!

icon

Glenn Ramalho (ID: 00000061ffda4ce6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/19/2022 Very simple, easy to use, and works with videos too.

Angel Gzz Hernández (ID: 000000bc00fcedd0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/31/2022 Works perfect on Edge. Simple and it just works. Exactly what I needed.

Mario Kotlar (ID: 00000080670ba6c5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/08/2022 Seems to work perfectly! Lifesaver given that most image viewers out there are full of bloat and aren't even color managed. And it gets bonus points for supporting custom formats by typing their extension in the plugin options menu.
