Spesoft Image Converter is a simple-to-use program with a name that pretty much sums up its functionality - it allows you to change the format of your image files. It supports a wide range of file types, including BMP, PSD, TIF, JPG, TIG and ICO.
The interface of the tool is based on a standard wizard. You can get started by selecting the conversion method, between “single image file” and “folder of files” (include or exclude subfolders). But you can also create media RSS feed from the images of a folder.
The next step involves selecting the output format and configuring settings (e.g. apply PNG crush, adjust JPG quality).
Spesoft Image Converter also allows you to make some modifications to your images. So, you can rotate, flip, crop and resize pictures, as well as adjust the brightness, saturation and hue levels. Plus, you can apply filters (e.g. blur, sharpen).
Once the output destination has been specified, you can verify the task's details (operation type, source name and format, target profile and directory) before initializing the conversion procedure. When the job is done, you can check out the elapsed time. From this point on, you can either go back several steps, start a new operation or exit Spesoft Image Converter.
The image processing tool requires a low-to-moderate amount of system resources to finish a task briefly. It is very responsive and delivers a good image quality after conversion. We have not encountered any problems throughout our testing.
On the downside, there is no help file available and you cannot preview original and output pictures. Furthermore, there is no "Settings" area where you can set Spesoft Image Converter to minimize to the system tray.
