Tools - Image File Converter

The image file converter is primarily used to convert graphics from one format to another, such as from BMP to JPEG. It also allows you to change the dimensions of the image.

The tool has a user-friendly interface that guides you by the hand through all the steps of file conversion, from creating a list of images, to selecting the format and name of the target files, to saving the images to the indicated folder, which is quick and efficient.

Launching

You can run the image file converter using the command marked with the icon shown above located in the Main Menu / Tools / Graphics and Multimedia, as well as the button shown above located on the toolbar.

The first page of this tool is informative and welcomes you to the tool.

You can move between the pages using the Next and Back buttons.

File selection

The second page allows you to select graphics to place the conversion.

At the top of the window, you can select the folders where the files to be converted are located. You can indicate more than one location with graphics. If you check the Search also in subfolders switch, all subfolders of the selected folder will also be considered when searching for files for conversion.

Search only for files in the following formats
Select the file formats you want to add to the list of files to be converted.

Image files found
The list will include all images of selected formats found in subfolders.

You can also add and remove files from the list using the menu on the right.

To remove all files from the list, click the trash can icon. This will only remove the names from the list, the files on the disk will remain intact!

Conversion settings

The third page allows you to choose the file and folder format and the naming rule for the resulting files.

Format of the resulting files
Select the format in which you want to save all files.

Folder for result files
Select the folder in which you want to save the files. You can also create a new folder using the window opened by the button on the right.

• %n - old file name (without extension)
• %d - current date (in YYYY-MM-DD format)
• %o - sequence number. You can set the starting number (from which the numbering will start), as well as the number of digits that will be used (for example, if you choose the value "3", the digits will be completed in front with zeros, such as "001", "002", etc.).

Image compression settings

This page allows you to set the compression of the output files. It will only be shown if the images are in compressible formats (GIF, JPG, PNG), it will not be shown if you are using BMP files.

Scaling

Scale images
Check this option if you want to scale the images.

Image Width and Height - set the target width and height of the images.

Grayscale - select this option to change the colors of the images to grayscale (this reduces the file size)

Empty space with color - if the images will be scaled proportionally with filling the empty space with color, select the color with which this empty space is to be filled

• Proportional, height matched to width - the images will be scaled so that they all have the same width, the height will be calculated according to the proportions of the original images
• Proportional, width matched to height - the images will be scaled so that they all have the same height, the width will be calculated according to the proportions of the original images
• Proportionally, with filling the empty space with color - the images will be fitted as best as possible to the given image size ("inscribed" in a rectangle of the given size) , proportions will be preserved, and any space left on the periphery will be filled with the color given above.
• Disproportionate - the images will be scaled exactly to the given dimensions, without preserving the proportions

Summary
