Open Source Image Converter

Every type of content can be found under quite the diversity of variations, with each format grouping together some code it’s own way. This applies to pictures as well, and chances are you need your collection under a different format. Here is where Open Source Image Converter can come in handy, offering an impressive variety of export options.

One of the first advantages you come across is flexibility. No installation is required to make Open Source Image Converter work, but you do need to check whether or not .NET Framework is on your computer. On the other hand, it’s a default feature in modern Windows iterations, so there’s a slight chance it’s already there.

The design keeps things simple, and easy to comprehend even by inexperienced individuals. Two requirement fields need to be properly filled with input and output folder paths, while the output format is almost all that separates you from conversion itself.

Since you can only work with directories, the application takes the liberty of reading subfolders as well. On the other hand, it provides an option to keep the folder structure intact. If input and output are the same, you can choose to overwrite existing files. Since it’s a converter, you can easily undo the process through conversion.

This takes us to file support, which is the application's main advantage. Although you may feel skeptical at first, export options come under a surprising variety, extended beyond the simple picture format. Sure enough, some might also require an appropriate viewer. What it lacks is the option to combine for specific types, such as the PDF, with only batch processing as an available process.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Open Source Image Converter is sure not to disappoint after the first test run. Although the feature set it comes with is light in variety, output options are more than enough to tip the balance in its favor, especially since it’s also portable.
