Those readers who’ve worked with images, whether professionally or just sorting through holiday photos, will know that a lot of imageprocessing work is monotonous. It involves repeatedly converting, resizing and rotating images to make them suitable for print or for passing around.
Although you can use virtually any image viewing or editing tool, from GIMP to digiKam for this task, you’ll save yourself a lot of hassle by employing a dedicated batch conversion tool such as Converseen.
Converseen is a straightforward front-end to the various command-line conversion utilities that are bundled as part of the ImageMagick suite. You can use the tool to convert images to and from over 100 formats, rotate and flip them, change their dimensions, and rename them in a fraction of the time it would take to perform these tasks manually.
The program is available in the official repos of most distros, so you can just grab with sudo apt install converseen on Ubuntu or sudo dnf install converseen on Fedora.
Fire up the application once it’s been installed. Converseen’s workflow is pretty straightforward – simply click the Add Images button to select any number of images you want to convert. You can also import images from PDF files.
Once the images have appeared in the list, use the Actions Panel on the left to perform any of the common operations. For instance, you can resize the images by a specific number of pixels or scale factor of one to 100 per cent, and flip and/or rotate them.
You can also choose a different directory to save your converted photos in, and rename them by adding a prefix, suffix or progressive number. Once you’ve configured the actions you want Converseen to perform on the images, select an output format for the converted images, then click Convert to get the process underway.
