Photopus review
A capable Windows batch converter with a free edition and low-cost Pro upgrade.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Photopus is a Windows desktop application for converting and editing batches of photos. It is aimed at users who need to process many images in one operation rather than edit files individually. The free Standard edition covers automatic resizing, batch processing and common photo formats. Photopus Pro expands the format range and adds support for RAW camera images, PDF and multi-page PDF files. The software supports Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11.
Its strongest area is batch workflow control. Users can set custom dimensions or choose resizing presets, then rotate, flip, crop and adjust brightness, contrast, color balance, gamma or hue and saturation. Effects include grayscale, sepia, blur, sharpen and borders. Batch watermarking supports text, images, dates and comments, while automatic renaming helps organize converted files. Metadata preservation after processing is also included. Photopus can create multi-page PDF or TIFF files from multi-page images, which gives it a practical role in document and image collection workflows.
The pricing structure is straightforward. Standard is free and focuses on common formats and core batch resizing and processing. Pro costs $19.95 as a one-time purchase and adds batch conversion across more than 90 image formats, RAW support, PDF and multi-page PDF support, free upgrades for one year and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Photopus suits Windows users who want affordable offline batch conversion with editing tools in the same application. It is less suitable for users who need a web app, an API, AI-assisted editing or support beyond Windows.
