XL Converter

Sharing photos on certain platforms sometimes requires image conversion. Some formats are more compatible than others, and especially with the prevalence of HEIC images these days, sometimes you’ll have to convert them to ensure they can be received and viewed by other users.

Image conversion utilities thus have a place of their own on the market, as there’s always some kind of demand. XL Converter is a tool that is both simple to use, yet sufficiently powerful to give you the functions you need to carry out photo conversion: besides being able to convert into different formats, downscaling your stills to reduce their size is another possibility to consider.

The program was designed in such a way that all users have to do is drop their photos in, then select the desired output format, of which JPEG XL, AVIF, WebP, JPG, and PNG are the available options.

This coverage should be good enough for most users, and with this, it’s also worth acknowledging the presence of the Smallest Lossless option, which should give you a smaller lossless image without impacting visual quality.

From the same Output menu, users can specify the number of system threads to be used during the process, which is a nice touch overall.

If you’re looking to conserve some storage space, then it’s worth looking into the Downscaling feature. In short, it will scale your image down to comply with your requirement. This requirement can be a max file size, resolution, as well as a percentage.

You may also choose to apply a Resample model to combat the loss of picture clarity. Lots of options are available in that sense, so try to experiment and see what suits your stills best.

XL Converter is a simple program overall, but it does work well to provide users with the tools to approach image conversion and downscaling efficiently.
