MasterSoft Multi Converter

There are multiple types of images, some which can hold more pages, some support transparency levels, while some are even animated, like the popular GIF format. Changing the file extension is not enough to perform a conversion, so you need to rely on specialized applications like MasterSoft Multi Converter.

Single, or multi file processing

Before you get to enjoy all the application has to offer, you need to make sure that your computer is fitted with .NET Framework to ensure functionality, because it’s a required component for functionality. Other than that, the main window is brought up in the blink of an eye.
Although the name might suggest the application is mostly used for batch processing, the default instance only allows you to convert one picture at a time. Don’t worry, because there’s also a built-in tool with which to process multiple files at a time. This only implies selecting more pictures from a browse dialog.

File support, and extra tools

Since it’s a conversion program, file support needs to be an advantage, and the application manages to live up to expectations. You’re able to work with files like BMP, GIF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, ICO, TIF, TIFF, TGA, PCX, WBMP, WMF, EMF, J2K, JP2, JBG, J2C, PGX, PNM, PGM, PPM, and RAS. You’re free to load, and convert between all of these file formats.
The application can also work with animated GIF files, in the sense that it enables you to create an animated sequence, or extract frames from an existing files. Unfortunately, creating a sequence needs to be done with other GIF files exclusively, without options to add multiple frames of different formats.
Multipage Tiff allows you to bundle more images inside a single image files, which is one of the features of the TIFF format. Last but not least, a built-in security tool makes sure only you can access specific image files through an encryption algorithm.

To sum it up

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that MasterSoft Multi Converter is a practical utility which comes with a bit more features than simple picture conversion. Supported formats provide a great deal of flexibility, and even though extra tools, like the GIF animator feel a little unpolished, it’s worth a try overall.
