A pith application for every user. Staying true to its name, this is all stuff no gas. The Graphic Converter (Mac) was built to do one thing and one thing only: to convert images.

Well, What is so special about this? If you have not used it before, you have not seen the potential of the program, that no other software can beat. It can import a staggering 96 different image formats. It creates a file type list which takes 3-4 seconds and you can scroll through these at max speed, and it can save in 38 different formats. Many of these formats may be recondite and you may have never heard them, but like the good old saying “Better late than never”.

The program resembles Paint, in a perfunctory inspection ascribed to its filled and non-filled square, rectangle and circle buttons in its tool bar. Even if you look at its image manipulation, it offers a clone and stamp tool tantamount to those found in Photoshop, but a little less impressive. Just like photoshop, it supports multiple layers in the same manner. Only when you start opening the menus, the software becomes heavy. You can find tools to change bit depth, a functional option for minimizing the color table of an image in order to decrease its size.The resizing tool is implemented in an faulty manner as it lacks the possibility to choose a pin point around which to scale. On the other hand, it compensates for this fault by offering various solutions such as Color permutation and blinding using filters.

The real succulent part of this software is the batch functions. Along with its integrated image browser, you can convert and modify interface in the most intuitive way that has adumbrated MAC OSX features. You can even convert an 32 Bit image with this software in a transparent and quickly too. With the multifarious options in format save, you can choose the what suits you and it will open in any editor with the perfection. In fact, you can use this software to put finishing touches on your images so that you can open it anywhere and it will look the same. Add to these features, the Graphic converter supports compression, which allows you utilize the function in real time with preview and file size. Lastly, it also support webformats!

In conclusion, to break it down in to simple terms; this software has an unmatched image format conversion capabilites that can get the job done fast and that too reliably with real time feedback. The bad part is that it still has the rustic paint look which although makes the software seem simple but strips off from a user from conceiving its true potential. Hence, for $30 this is as good as it gets.
