If you have a large number of images to work with, perhaps in readiness for use on a web site, it can be an arduous task performing the same editing process to image after image. XnConvert is a free batch converter and image editing tool, available for Windows, Mac and Linux, that helps to automate the process by making it possible to edit and convert images in groups rather than have to work with files individually.

With support for over 400 image formats, XnConvert will handle almost any file you can think of, and while the program can be used on single images, the real benefits come from importing entire folders of image files and processing them all simultaneously.

The program can be used in a number of ways, including quickly converting a series of images from one format to another. Batches of images can also be resized to the same dimensions, rotated and cropped. There is also a wide range of special effects that can be applied to files including noise reduction, watermarking, colour correction and many more.

XnConvert has not been designed as a replacement for the likes of Photoshop – its primary focus is apply the same settings to a large number of images to avoid individual editing, or the need for scripting.  Whether you have a web site, or a just keen on digital photography, this is a great way to edit and optimise your images with a minimum of effort.
