Getting started
- Download XnConvert for your system from the XnView page and open it.
- Add your images, then build the list of actions, such as resize, crop, rotate or change format, and choose the output format and folder.
- Run the conversion on a few files first and check the result; save the steps as a preset for next time.
Decision points
- Choose it for repeatable large batches or watch-folder jobs; for a single quick photo a browser tool is simpler.
- Check the licence first: the page says it is free for private or educational use and that company use needs a commercial licence.
Limits
- Free use is limited to private and educational use (including non-profit organisations); company use needs a paid commercial licence. Terms can change.
- The page lists more than 80 operations and about 70 output formats but does not detail support for individual formats such as HEIC; test your own file type first.
- It is a full desktop program with many options and needs installation; it is heavier than a one-click compressor.
