Like VLC but for images? (Win11) (lemmy.ml)

Looking for an open-source alternative for image viewing so I can get rid of the AI‑embedded Windows Photos. I did some research and I'm trying IrfanView, but it needs separate plugins for AVIF, WebP, etc. Nomacs' last update was 2020. I'm going to try ImageGlass and XnView, but I wonder if there is some software that's more widely recommended - like VLC, but for images.

Thanks. I tested a few and so far I favor PicView (haven't tested ImageGlass yet). A lot of people recommend nomacs, I find it kind of weird because it technically doesn't even support Win11 since its last update was 2020, before Win11's release (Win11 isn't even listed on its site). I wonder if there haven't been any codec updates since then for nomacs to still rank so high.
