Advanced Batch Converter 4.5

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This program not only offers a fast and easy way to convert images among a variety of formats, it also packs a capable set of editing tools. Advanced Batch Converter supports just about every popular image type and handles batch or single conversions in a jiffy. Also, though the interface is no beauty, it's fairly intuitive, so you may not need the detailed tutorial. You can drag images into a program window, or you can perform file conversions outside the application via command-line options. However, this program is more than just a simple conversion utility. You'll find tools for zooming, rotating, cropping, removing red-eye, creating slide shows, and drawing. We also were pleased to discover a surprisingly large number of effects, including options for color adjustment, distortion, morphing, sharpening, and filtering. The download restricts you to six image transformations per session, but you can always close the program and come right back if you need to do more work. We think Advanced Batch Converter will please just about anyone except high-end or professional users.
