I didn’t originally plan on making any posts about Irfanview, but because I mentioned in in my recent YouTube video regarding
VBA - WIA - Convert the Image Format
I was continuing to explore the power of Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) and put together the following function to convert an image from one format to another. With WIA we can very easily work with and convert between: bmp gif jpg gif tiff file formats and the beauty is this is all built-in and available…
I figured I owed it to everyone to at least touch upon the subject.
I have been using IrfanView for at least 20 years. It is an exceptional tool for playing around with images! IMHO, is the foundation that was used to create many other similar tools that we now know of, but it was the original.
In the referenced post above, I discuss how we can easily use WIA to convert images between 5 different formats:
- bmp
- gif
- jpg
- png
- tiff
but what if we wanted/needed some other format? What about a format like:
- ico
- ppm
- raw
- webp
- and the list goes on!
Well this is where we can use some basic VBA automation to accomplish such conversion with Irfanview.
You see, Irfanview exposes a multitude of command line switches which enable us to pretty much do anything we want via code that we can do manually. Hence, it lends itself easily to automation.
You can do things like the following to images:
- open
- convert format
- crop
- resize
- convert to grayscale
- rotate
- flip
- change the dpi
- change color depth
- and much more
Today, I will show you a few basic examples from which you can hopefully build upon to suit your needs.
Locating IrfanView’s EXE
Instead of hard coding IrfanView’s exe path, I wanted to create more versatile code and set off to use the registry to retrieve this information. Sadly, since x64 came out Microsoft has made this task evermore difficult. I’ll save you the frustration, below is code that does the job!
The most important part of the code being a gem of a routine I located a while back in a forum for reading the registry key:
'Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7004309 - Helen!
' Reads a REG_SZ value from the local computer's registry using WMI.
' Parameters:
' RootKey - The registry hive (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa390788(VS.85).aspx for a list of possible values).
' Key - The key that contains the desired value.
' Value - The value that you want to get.
' RegType - The registry bitness: 32 or 64.
Function ReadRegStr(RootKey, Key, Value, RegType)
Dim oCtx, oLocator, oReg, oInParams, oOutParams
Set oCtx = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemNamedValueSet")
oCtx.Add "__ProviderArchitecture", RegType
Set oLocator = CreateObject("Wbemscripting.SWbemLocator")
Set oReg = oLocator.ConnectServer("", "root\default", "", "", , , , oCtx).Get("StdRegProv")
Set oInParams = oReg.Methods_("GetStringValue").InParameters
oInParams.hDefKey = RootKey
oInParams.sSubKeyName = Key
oInParams.sValueName = Value
Set oOutParams = oReg.ExecMethod_("GetStringValue", oInParams, , oCtx)
ReadRegStr = oOutParams.sValue
End Function
with that, we can then easily get the path of IrfanView’s exe by simply doing something along the lines of:

Combining Multiple Actions
If you wish to combine multiple manipulations, as illustrated in IrfanView_ResizeImage(), you need only add the additional command line swicth(es) to your call. So no need to call multiple individual procedures, instead, for best performance, create a new procedure and build everything into a single command!
So yes, you could flip, resize and convert all in one single sub.
Important!
If you review the IrfanView_ConvertImageFormat() and then the subsequent examples you will notice no doubt that they all use the /convert command line switch as it is used to not only convert format, but also as the save command. Thus, in reality, you can not only perform the desired operation (rotate, flip, resize, …), but you can at the same time convert the file format if so desired based on the supplied sOutputImg (extension).
Hence you can output the altered image file in the same format, or convert it in the same call. The choice is yours.
Also, the automation automatically overwrites existing files. So if you wish to avoid this, you will need to add in your own check prior to calling the Shell process by using any number of techniques: Dir(), FSO, …
Other Command Line Switches
Below is the listing of available command line switches taken from the help file (found under the heading Command Line Options).
These command line options are supported in IrfanView: /one - force 'Only one instance' /fs - force Full Screen display /bf - force 'Fit images to desktop' display option /title=text - set window title to 'text' /pos=(x,y) - move the window to x,y (if display option allows that) /display=(x,y,w,h,zoom,sX,sY) - set position, size, zoom and scroll position of the IrfanView window and image /convert=filename - save/convert input image(s)/file(s) to "filename" and CLOSE IrfanView (see Pattern page for additional filename options) /makecopy - for convert: if destination file exists, save new file as copy: (1), (2), (3) etc. /slideshow=txtfile - play slideshow with the files from 'txtfile' /slideshow=folder - play slideshow with the files from 'folder' /reloadonloop - reload input source used in /slideshow when list finished /filelist=txtfile - use filenames from "txtfile" as input, see examples below /file=filename(s) - use filename(s) as input, see examples below /thumbs - open Thumbnails window /killmesoftly - close all IrfanView instances (exit after command line) /cmdexit - close current IrfanView after command line processing /fs_exit - ESC closes fullscreen and IrfanView (if started in fullscreen mode) /closeslideshow - close slideshow and close IrfanView after the last image /page=X - open page number X from a multipage input image /crop=(x,y,w,h,C) - crop input image: x-start, y-start, width, height, C-start corner (0-4) /print - print input image to default printer and close IrfanView /print="Name" - print input image to specific printer and close IrfanView /resize=(w,h) - resize input image to w (width) and h (height) /resize_long=X - resize input image: set long side to X /resize_short=X - resize input image: set short side to X /resample - for resize: use Resample option (better quality) /aspectratio - used for /resize, keep image proportions /capture=X - capture the screen or window (see examples below) /ini - use the Windows folder for INI/LST files (read/save) /ini="Folder" - use the folder "Folder" for INI/LST files (read/save) /clippaste - paste image from the clipboard /clipcopy - copy image to the clipboard /silent - don't show error messages for command line read/save errors /invert - invert the input image (negative) /dpi=(x,y) - change DPI values, set DPIs for scanning /scan - acquire the image from the TWAIN device - show TWAIN dialog /scanhidden - acquire the image from the TWAIN device - hide TWAIN dialog /batchscan=(options) - simulate menu: File->Batch Scanning, see examples below /bpp=BitsPerPixel - change color depth of the input image to BitsPerPixel /swap_bw - swap black and white color /gray - convert input image to grayscale /rotate_r - rotate input image to right /rotate_l - rotate input image to left /hflip - horizontal flip /vflip - vertical flip /filepattern="x" - browse only specific files /sharpen=X - open image and apply the sharpen filter value X /effect=(X,p1,p2) - apply effect filter X, see below for examples /contrast=X - open image and apply the contrast value X /bright=X - open image and apply the brighntess value X /gamma=X - open image and apply the gamma correction value X /advancedbatch - apply Advanced Batch Dialog options to image (from INI file) /hide=X - hide toolbar, status bar, menu and/or caption of the main window (see examples below) /transpcolor=(r,g,b) - set transparent color if saving as GIF/PNG/ICO /info=txtfile - write image infos to "txtfile" /fullinfo - used for /info, write EXIF, IPTC and Comment data /shortinfo - used for /info, write just file index and name /append=tiffile - append image as (TIF) page to "tiffile" /multitif=(tif,files) - create multipage TIF from input files /multipdf=(pdf,files) - create multipage PDF from input files /panorama=(X,files) - create panorama image from input files; X = direction (1 or 2) /jpgq=X - set JPG save quality /tifc=X - set TIF save compression /wall=X - set image as wallpaper; see below for /random and examples /extract=(folder,ext) - extract all pages from a multipage/multiframe file /import_pal=palfile - import and apply a special palette to the image (PAL format) /export_pal=palfile - export image palette to file (PAL format) /jpg_rotate=(options) - JPG lossless rotation, see examples below /hotfolder="folder" - start Hotfolder option with a specific folder /monitor=X - start EXE-Slideshow on monitor X /window=(x,y,w,h) - set EXE-Slideshow window position and size /clearmonitors - play EXE-slideshow on one monitor, clear all other monitors
