QConvert v1.0.0 First public release
QConvert is a Windows desktop tool for fast image conversion and editing directly from Explorer. It adds a configurable per-user context menu for common image tasks, while keeping the
original files untouched and writing clean converted copies next to the source.
Highlights
- Explorer-first workflow - right-click an image, choose a QConvert action, and get the converted copy immediately.
- Silent conversion runner - context-menu actions use a dedicated CLI host, so conversions do not flash a console window.
- Previewed image editor - open an image in QConvert to preview conversion, resize, crop, avatar, favicon, and sepia operations before saving.
- Practical format support - convert between JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and ICO where supported.
- Release-ready Windows install - self-contained per-user MSI with no separate .NET runtime requirement.
