Thanks to its clean and easy-to-use user interface, users will be able to quickly convert, rotate, flip, and resize an unlimited number of image files, all at once.

In addition, users can execute a single or multiple conversion operation, create one or multiple thumbnails for converted images, as well as to compress images for publishing on their personal websites.

One of the best batch image conversion utilities

It is one of the best batch image conversion software application for Linux, especially because it doesn't confuse the user with strange options and useless buttons and function keys. Another interesting feature is the ability to batch rename the converted images, simply by using a prefixes, suffixes or progressive numbers.

Under the hood, supported OSes and availability

Under the hood, we can report that the program is written in C++ around the Qt4 libraries, but most of its image conversion functions are backed by the well known and open source ImageMagick software.
