CNET Editors' review
RentASoft Image Converter is a utility that allows users to quickly and easily convert images from one format to another. The program's intuitive and attractive interface makes it a breeze to use.
Using the program is as easy as right-clicking on any photo on your computer. Select "Convert image to..." and the program's interface opens. Users can choose from among 14 different file types, then click Convert, and it's done. Users can also specify where the new image is saved if they desire, and the ICO file type allows users to specify what size icons they want. The program's online Help file provides brief instructions, but they really aren't needed; the program is completely intuitive. RentASoft Image Converter is decidedly low on features; it's not a photo editor, and it won't allow you to do anything to your photos besides change the file type. But that's the point. It saves users from having to bother with opening a program to complete the conversion. Users don't even have to open the file that's being converted. The beauty of the program is that it is so fast and sleek, allowing users to make quick conversions without interrupting their workflow.
RentASoft Image Converter is free. It installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users seeking a quick and easy way to convert images.

"Not what it claims to be"
Version: RentASoft Image Converter 2.3
Pros
Absolutely none.
Cons
The download file was called "DownloadDemo.asp," so I was immediately suspicious of it.
Summary
After the setup ran, it asked me things that had nothing to do with converting images, at least as far as I could tell. Nothing intuitive about it. I guessed my way through the 2 interogative screens, then it displayed the results as if I were looking at binary content through a text editor; in other words, nothing like the download.com displayed image of the alleged control panel. I don't know if "Rentasoft..." was hacked or whatever, but it does not do as it claims, or at the very least, it doesn't do it in a way that makes any sense (FWIW, I'm a computer programmer with over 30 years of experience, including a sideline business of installing/modifying computers). Don't bother with this program.

Version: RentASoft Image Converter 2.3

Cons

"An invaluable bit of software with several uses."
Version: RentASoft Image Converter 2.3
Pros
I particularly like that I can put a document or book in my scanner, save the resulting jpeg, right-click on it to open this program, and convert it to a perfect text pdf. It works fine with Foxit even though the button says Adobe PDF.
Cons
Hardly a Con, but I had to make a desktop shortcut (it only opens the instructions) just to remind me the program is hidden in my system, LoL.

"Did its job, but screwed up my machine"
Version: RentASoft Image Converter 2.3
Pros
It worked as advertised
Cons
Messed up my PC, I think.
Summary
I was wary when saw that the software had no publisher, and thought about not downloading it. I was right, because the next thing I know, my antivirus (avast!) starts behaving weird. I spent the better part of today reformatting and re-installing stuff. Don't take your chances.

"This software is great."
Version: RentASoft Image Converter 2.3
