Image Tools

Image Tools is a lightweight software application that helps with converting images to different file formats, resizing, applying special effects, and embedding watermarks. Batch actions can also be employed for processing multiple photos at the same time.

The utility offers support for two user interfaces. One is specifically designed for processing a single file, while the other is suitable for batch actions. They look similar and are intuitive so you are not going to spend a lot of time decoding the dedicated parameters.

Pictures can be imported in the working environment using the built-in browse button or drag-and-drop support. Images can be previewed directly in the GUI.

You are allowed to convert photos to various formats, namely JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF, EMF, EXIF, or WMF. If you want to just edit the selected file, you may opt for keeping the original file format.

When it comes to resizing options, Image Tools lets you view the current width and height dimensions and alter them with using custom values. You may appeal to several preset profiles for resizing the files on the go, such as iPod Classic, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, Zune, and Nintendo Wii, as well as pick the preferred output quality (highest, high, medium, or low).

Image Tools comes packed with several editing tools which help you adjust the brightness, gamma, and color, and enhance the quality of the image using various filters, such as emboss, smooth, sharpen, random jitter, pixelate, edge detection, and swirl.

You may also embed text watermarks, alter their position, and change the text in terms of font, size, color, and style (normal, bold, italic, strikethrough, or underline).

The batch mode can be used for converting, resizing, and applying watermarks but it does not work with special effects. Tests have pointed out that Image Tools carries out a task quickly and offers very good output results. It eats up a moderate amount of CPU and memory resources.

All things considered, Image Tools helps you edit and convert images using several handy tools. It is not one of most advanced apps on the market, but you can keep it around for simple tasks. It can be configured by rookies and professionals alike.
