Click on the File Menu, then Open (or use the Open tool on the toolbar). A dialog allows you to open a file for use in IrfanView.

Use the Look in box to locate the file you want, or type a file name into File Name. Files of type lets you limit your choice, showing only the type of file you want (for instance JPG). The default is Common Graphic Files
. (Note: Windows can't display at same time all file types supported by IrfanView in one line of the list.)

If you check Preview active, a single click on an image filename will display a small version. Another click brings the file into the viewer. You can also double click the filename.

To close without opening a file, click Cancel. Another way to close is to click the X in the upper right corner.

After the opening, you will see an image or you will get an error message, if the file type is unsupported by IrfanView
.

If you open a large image, you can use scrollbars to see all parts of the image. Scrolling is possible with the arrow keys and with the page up/down, home/end keys. Scrolling is also possible with the right mouse button: press the right mouse button and move the mouse arround.
