Irfanview batch converter

[Skhilled]

I haven't tried LViewPro in a long time. That one's been around for a number of years too.

Well with this many folks that know all about it methinks I will have to install it and take it for a test drive. I have been using LViewPro for decades and never had any problem using it for the small amount of things I do with it but with this many singing the praise of this piece we will have to see if it likes a 64 bit system

I've been using it for a number of years myself. It can read a lot of different formats but does not save to all formats. That is my only complaint about it but that's very minor compared to all of the things it can do!

I know nothing about plugins but, yes, I did get both while there just in case the plugins do something I need, lol.

There are two downloads....The program itself and the plugins.  Be sure to snag both.

COOL! I'll give it a try. Especially if it doesn't mess with the quality of the image as Glasslady suggests.
Thanks!

Both are great programs and yes....I've been using both for years and then some.  Infranview has some awesome plugins also...and it works Magic on resizing and not distorting.

Sounds like Lviewpro

This program that can do batch processing. It can resize, convert, etc. a number of images in the same directory at once. It's small in size, fast and easy to use.

There is a free and a commercially licensed program available, a must have if you have many images that need to be batch converted.



From their site:

IrfanView is a very fast, small, compact and innovative FREEWARE (for non-commercial use)
graphic viewer for Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 , 2008, Vista, Windows 7.

It is designed to be simple for beginners and powerful for professionals.



IrfanView seeks to create unique, new and interesting features, unlike some other
graphic viewers, whose whole "creativity" is based on feature cloning, stealing of ideas and whole dialogs from ACDSee and/or
IrfanView! (for example: XnView has been stealing/cloning features and whole dialogs from IrfanView, for 10+ years).



IrfanView was the first Windows graphic viewer WORLDWIDE with Multiple (animated)
GIF support.

One of the first graphic viewers WORLDWIDE with Multipage TIF support.
