IrfanView 4.40 for 64-bit Windows released

[Arthur]

Website / Download (IrfanView: 64-bit, 32-bit / Plugins: 64-bit, 32-bit)

 

Starting with IrfanView 4.40 there is also a 64-bit version available.

 

Advantages of IrfanView 64-bit over 32-bit version:

• It can load VERY large files/images (image RAM size over 1.3 GB, for special users)
  
• Faster for very large images (25+ Megapixels, loading or image operations)
  
• Runs only on a 64-bit Windows (Vista, Win7, Win8, Win10)
  

Advantages of IrfanView 32-bit over 64-bit version:

• Runs on a 32-bit and 64-bit Windows
  
• Loads all files/images for normal needs (max. RAM size is about 1.3 GB)
  
• Needs less disc space
  

All plugins will work: not all PlugIns are ported (yet) to 64-bit (like OCR) and some 32-bit plugins must be still used in the 64-bit version, some with limitations (see the "Plugins32" folder)
