Frequently Asked Questions
Is XnConvert free for commercial use?
No. It is free for private, educational, and non-profit use, but commercial use by a company requires a paid license. This distinction is important for businesses using it as part of their regular image-processing workflow.
Does XnConvert reduce image quality when converting images?
It can, depending on the output format and compression settings you choose. Lossy formats such as JPEG can reduce image quality when compressed, while using appropriate quality settings or lossless formats can help preserve more detail.
Does XnConvert work offline?
Yes. Image processing is performed locally on your computer rather than requiring images to be uploaded to an online conversion service. This makes it suitable for processing image collections when you want the files to remain on your own system.
What is the difference between XnConvert and IrfanView?
Both can convert and batch-process images, but they are designed with different priorities. XnConvert focuses specifically on batch image conversion and processing across Windows, macOS, and Linux, while IrfanView is primarily a Windows image viewer that also provides editing, conversion, and batch-processing features.
