As the title of this software suggests, Advanced Batch Converter lets you convert image files in batch mode. But it comes bundled with some other interesting features as well.
The interface of the application is plain and simple. Images can be imported by using the file browser only, because the "drag and drop" method is not supported.
So, besides conversion you can also use some basic editing tools, such as rectangular marquee, lasso, magic wand, eye dropper, fill, scroll and pencil.
In addition, you can add text, crop, flip, mirror, rotate and resize pictures, change the canvas size and resolution, remove the red eye effect, as well as capture the desktop, area, window or object.
Furthermore, you can apply various effects which involve colors (e.g. negative, grayscale, equalize), filters (e.g. sharpen, blur, emboss), morphing, distortion, black and white, masks (e.g. retro, clouds, sketch) and automatic adjustments (e.g. white balance).
Moreover, you can zoom in and out, switch to full screen mode, create a histogram and a slideshow, along with a favorites list, switch to a different language for the interface, load images from URL and save them to text, and others.
The program runs on a moderate amount of system resources, includes a comprehensive help file (snapshots would had been welcomed) and has a very good response time. No errors have popped up during our tests and Advanced Batch Converter did not freeze or crash. We highly recommend this graphic editing tool to all users.
