By Nelson Garcia and Alex Roberts

Pixillion Image Converter by NCH Software is a low-cost versatile tool designed to convert, compress, and edit images across a wide range of formats. A tool like this can be particularly useful if you receive image formats within discovery that won’t open on your computer, or if you need to convert images to a particular format to send to someone else.

For example, iPhones will commonly store pictures in an HEIC format and Windows computers do not have any built-in programs that can open these files. Pixillion can open and convert these files into other formats (like the commonly used JPG format).

Key Features

  • Broad Format Support: Convert images to and from formats like JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PDF, RAW (e.g., CR2, NEF), HEIC, SVG, PSD, ICO, and more.
  • Batch Processing: Efficiently convert or compress thousands of images simultaneously, saving time and effort.
  • Editing Tools: Rotate, resize, crop, flip, and apply filters such as black & white, sepia, and auto-levels. Adjust brightness, contrast, and exposure settings.
  • Watermarking: Add text or image watermarks to your photos, with a preview feature to visualize the final output.
  • Metadata Management: Update or preserve image metadata during the conversion process.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Drag-and-drop functionality, right-click menu integration, and live previews make the software accessible and easy to use.

Supported Formats

Pixillion supports a comprehensive list of image formats, including:

  • Common Formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PDF
  • Camera RAW Formats: CR2, NEF, DNG, RAF, GPR and others
  • Vector and Other Formats: SVG, PSD, ICO, HEIC, EMF, WMF.
