Konvert 0.2.0: photos

Konvert now converts pictures too, still entirely on your computer: no network
connections, no telemetry, no account.

New

  • Picture conversion: open JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC/HEIF, BMP and TIFF
    files and convert them to JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF.
  • HEIC photos from iPhone are supported, including photos stored as a grid of tiles.
  • Photos are turned the right way up automatically (EXIF orientation and HEIC rotation).
  • Quality presets (Best quality, Balanced, Small file) for every picture format.
    From a lossless source such as PNG, "Best quality" WebP is lossless.
  • Advanced options for pictures: picture quality and maximum size (longest side).
    Pictures are never enlarged.
  • Transparency is kept in PNG, WebP and AVIF. In JPG, transparent areas become white,
    and Konvert warns you before converting.
  • EXIF data (camera, date, location) is kept when a JPEG, PNG or WebP picture becomes
    a PNG. The other conversions cannot keep it, and Konvert tells you so beforehand.
  • Estimated size and clear warnings before every picture conversion.
  • Open with → Konvert now also appears for picture files. Your default apps are
    never changed.

Fixed

  • "Open with" was missing for .aifc, .alac, .qt and .wave files, which the file
    picker already accepted.

Known issue

  • Videos recorded with the phone held upright come out stretched when Konvert resizes
    them (GIF, or Maximum resolution under Advanced). A fix is planned for an
    upcoming update.

Install or update

  1. Download Konvert_0.2.0_x64-setup.exe and Konvert_0.2.0_x64-setup.exe.sha256.
  2. Verify the checksum:
    (Get-FileHash .\Konvert_0.2.0_x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256).Hash
    It must match
    5cce9fe6ebf043392bc54c41cb4dac2cb56352b298ae9b578b69cebe7e614b67.
  3. Run the installer. It installs over 0.1.0, and your preferences are kept. If it offers
    to uninstall the previous version first, leave "Delete the application data" unchecked.

The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected
your PC". After checking the checksum, choose More info → Run anyway.

FFmpeg is unchanged (LGPL build n9.0.2-36). Its sources are in the
ffmpeg-n9.0.2-36 pre-release.
