1. Support for additional image formats

• Expanded format compatibility: Adds codecs for WebP, HEIC/HEIF (with HEVC), RAW camera files (CR2, NEF, ARW, etc.), PSD, ICO, and many more, so IrfanView can open and convert files other apps may not handle.

4. Enhanced batch processing

5. Metadata and color profile tools

• EXIF/IPTC/XMP handling: Read, edit, and preserve metadata during conversions; improved support for ICC color profiles for accurate color management across devices.

6. Plugins for scanning and TWAIN support

• Scanner integration: TWAIN and WIA plugin support to scan directly into IrfanView with more control over scan settings and formats.

7. OCR and text extraction
