XnConvert review
A low-cost desktop tool for automated, multi-format batch image processing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
XnConvert is a desktop batch image converter for processing large collections of photos and other graphics. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, supporting more than 500 input formats and exports to about 70 formats. Its audience includes individuals, educators, nonprofits, and companies that need repeatable conversion, resizing, renaming, metadata handling, or basic image preparation across platforms.
Pricing is straightforward but depends on how the software is used. The Freeware plan costs nothing for private, educational, and nonprofit use. Company use requires a one-time commercial license: €15 per license for one license, €13.50 for 2–9, €12 for 10–19, €10.50 for 20–49, €9 for 50–99, and €6.50 for 100 or more. That structure keeps the entry price low for individual and nonprofit workflows while offering lower per-license pricing at larger volumes.
Its strongest area is configurable batch processing. Users can combine more than 80 actions, including resizing, cropping, rotation, flipping, watermarking, color adjustments, metadata editing or removal, and renaming with counters, dates, or metadata fields. Camera RAW conversion, reusable presets, and watched folders extend the workflow from one-off jobs to automatic processing. XnConvert is a strong fit for affordable local automation and broad format conversion; teams seeking a browser-first workflow or a tool centered on collaboration should consider a different type of product.
