PicMagic Tools

Image manipulation often means resorting to well-established graphics suites, which have consolidated their reputation over the years, but at the expense of inherent complexity. If you require fewer image editing features or simply need some pre-defined operations, PicMagic Tools will provide a minimalist image handling toolset.

In an attempt to use the principle of simplicity, the developer has laid out all the available image operations in an accessible side-panel. This makes for a quick find whenever you seek a particular tool and also increases efficiency.

Clearly addressing the novice category, each of the separate modules offers a good overview of all the required parameters and easy to select options. Both sliders and numerical input are offered, this way increasing flexibility even more.

Although it provides quite a decent degree of image processing operations, the app might lack more substance in the settings department. There are options for setting exclusions and managing the preferred file extensions, but that’s about it.

For the novice to intermediate user, this might not be such a big deal-breaker, but in case you require a bit more fine tweaking, regardless if it’s output options or processing order, there’s a chance that the app might leave you wanting for more.

PicMagic Tools is a fair choice for those who need to perform basic image processing operations, such as compressions, resizing, conversions or rotations. Without the inherent complexity of the larger graphics suites but with some minor flaws in terms of available options, it provides an efficient way of processing your images without too much trouble.
