Irfanview has been my image viewer on Windows for years now. You can install the full plugin pack from the main website (button below the main installer download) and you'll be set for just about anything that identifies as an image.

(edit) It's not FOSS though, but it is free.

    I'd probably say nomacs.

    I've heard good things about xnview

    It has nice ui, support, is cross-platform and foss

    Edit: it is freeware, not foss!

    Just accept that it's this is the kind of thing that bothers you, you need to embrace Linux lol.

    Aside from that, your browser can open just about any image format.

    I'll have to look into some of these responses. Up till now I've just used gimp because it's already installed. I always think I should find something faster just for viewing but I never do

    @PiraHxCx Unless something new has come along to beat it, #ImageMagick is prolly the best tool there is. It ain't perty, but it does perty much everything you might ever need.https://imagemagick.org

    ImageMagick does support displaying images but it only supported when you use x11 (Xwayland).

    # the `display` command will give you a missing error even if you have ImageMagick installed (At least on my winget installation of ImageMagick)
    display image.png
    # give you a x11 error on windows
    magick display image.png
    

    if for some reason you want something similar you could use ffplay it both supported on windows and x11 from what I know.

    I tried it for batch conversion and I was very disappointed it somehow skipped files on big batches

    I haven't had any issues with ImageMagick with converting images, but I would rather use a dedicate command for encoder like avifenc, cjxl, cjpegli, and cwbep, since they have more options than ImageMagick or utilize newer encoders, such as cjpegli.

    Firefox (or some derivative). But I guess the real solution is to make that Linux switch.
