Drop images to translator and get them converted in the target folder.

From any colorspace to your choice. Batch processing in a fast and intuitive way.

  • Multithreaded: Convert tons of images in batch mode. Take advantage of all the power your computer has.

  • Unattended: Drop a folder, minimize the translator and get it it back when all work is done.

    That means you will get same results on Mac and Windows.

  • Easy to use, yet extremly powerful

What is new in version 4.1

  • Device link support: you can use device links just selecting them as output profile. This forces embedded profile to be ignored and devicelink used instead.
  • Named color profiles and color lists. You can conver Excel CSV and CGATS files for spot colors.
  • Embed only: sometimes you need only to embed a profile without any color conversion
  • Multi-ink separations: yes, you can now do separations for more than 4 inks. 5 or 6 inks for offset white or several blacks. Up to 16 channels.
  • WebP compression on all suitable formats.
  • Automatic detection of linear-gamma encoding. You need not to worry on the performance setting anymore.
  • Improved multitasking.
  • Many other minor and cosmetic improvements, modern, better looking user interface. Dark mode is now automatic (proud to be one of the very first apps to get this look, when it was not so popular)
