I had a ton of trouble opening a 10MB or so png a few weeks back. It was stitched together screenshots forming a map of some areas in a game, so it was quite large. Some stuff refused to open it at all as if the file was invalid, some would hang for minutes, some opened blurry. My first semi-success was Fossify Gallery on my phone from F-Droid. If I let it chug a bit, it'd show a blurry image, a while longer it'd focus. Then I'd try to zoom or pan and it'd blur for ages again. I guess it was aggressively lazy-loading. What worked in the end was GIMP. I had the thought that the image was probably made in an editor, so surely an editor could open it. The catch is that it took like 8GB of RAM, but then I could see clearly, zoom, and pan all I wanted. It made me wonder why there's not an image viewer that's just the viewer part of GIMP or something.

Among things that didn't work were qutebrowser, icecat, nsxiv, feh, imv, mpv. I did worry at first the file was corrupt, I was redownloading it, comparing hashes with a friend, etc. Makes for an interesting benchmark, I guess.

For others curious, here's the file: https://0x0.st/82Ap.png

I'd say just curl/wget it, don't expect it to load in a browser.
