    ACDSee is the best photo browsing software I've ever seen but I do not want to pay for a photo viewing software and their new version is not even better than their old version.

    I only need a simple viewing software that I can zoom up with + and down with - and get to next page with space bar, as simple as that.

    Some are like that but not as convenient and good as old vesrion of ACDSee.

    New version is paid and connected to accounts, it's too much, too complicated

    Any real alternative to that?

    Current default viewer that comes with windows 10 is TOO lagged in rotating photo >.<


    Btw, is there any PC desktop version of Picasa (Google)???
    Why I can't find the downlaods in Google official site, but some other untrusted site instead??
    Are those spyware

    Hello @kenny1999.

    Have a look at IrfanView. It's not really an alternative to ACDSee although I believe you'll be satisfied based on what you describe.

    As for Picasa, those installers are no longer supported by Google. Plus, the whole product is discontinued in favor of Google Photos.

    Give a try to Fastone Image Viewer.
    Have been using it for long time and it works like charm.

    Damn, picasa is acutally a pretty good program. It's kind of creepy they want you to put all you photos on the web now.
