It also explains why IrfanView is so much faster and still produces nicely compressed versions. This takes about 33 seconds compression time per image with my benchmark images. Next, I checked the "save for web" option - which resulted in the long wait times again, because it seems PS automatically sets the compression rate to one of the highest (8 or 9). Then, however, I noticed the reason for this: no compression is applied at all by PS, and the resulting PNG files are huge, this being the nature of uncompressed PNGs. I ran RB's image processor on the same list of images as before, and was surprised to see it converted all the JPGs to PNGs in a matter of ~10 seconds. But it is much slower than IrfanView, a tad faster than PS.Īfter some more testing I have to partially retract the words I have written above. It is a command line tool, and easy to use for conversions.Will also work on a mac.

This matters if you have hundreds of images to convert.ītw, Irfanview (windows only) is free to download It's too slow.Īnother issue is that during the conversion process Photoshop cannot be used - while with a simple conversion utility you can leave it running in the background, and continue to use PS for other work if required. That's a rather big difference - and with large numbers of images I just do not have the time to wait for Photoshop to finish the job. For example, I did a quick test to demonstrate the difference in performance:įolder with 10 images in jpg format, 5600px by 5600px. Photoshop is incredibly slow for this type of work.

If, on the other hand, you frequently need to not only convert but resize or otherwise edit images, Advanced Batch Converter has you covered.Įditors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Advanced Batch Converter 7.95.But can I be honest? I'd do that with a more efficient and far faster conversion utility like IrfanView. If you don't convert large batches of files, Advanced Batch Converter may be unnecessary. It's not a big deal to close a tab or browser window, but it seems a little pushy. Web nag screen: Each time you open the trial version, you're directed to the publisher's website to buy one of the four licensed products. While most of the icons were easily recognizable, we weren't sure what one of the editing tools - the Magic Wand tool - was supposed to do, and the Help file didn't mention it. Unfortunately, the Help file may not help much.

Inadequate Help file: While it's nice that Advanced Batch Converter comes with some extras, the interface is so packed with options you'll probably need to crack open the Help file, even if you've used this type of tool before. While some areas could use a bit more explanation, it was nice to be able to do basic editing within the app. It will go to the last folder you accessed to choose images for conversion, and you can quickly add all of the images in the folder or choose which ones you want to convert.Įditing extras: In addition to converting your images, Advanced Batch Converter has quite a few editing tools, so you can easily resize, crop, rotate, and add watermarks. If you want to convert a batch, a new window will open with options to help ease the process. Choose a file, then the output option, and your converted image is ready in seconds.

Works quickly: Converting one image is accomplished in no time, if you're not doing any editing. Advanced Batch Converter lets you convert one image file or a whole folder to a wide range of supported file options.
