Batch processing: Operations such as resize, crop, rotation and basic colour adjustments can be applied while converting.^[2]
Automation:
- Watch Folders process files placed in designated directories without user interaction.^[2]
- A scheduler can run saved jobs at specific times or intervals.
- The Pro edition provides a command‑line interface and a Windows DLL for integration with scripts and third‑party software.^[6]
Windows Explorer integration: Optional context‑menu entries allow quick conversions outside the main interface.
Online conversion: The web edition (reaConverter Online) performs format conversion and basic edits in a browser and is free to use.^[4]

Licensing

reaConverter is distributed under a freemium model:

Lite – free; limited to common raster formats and a reduced feature set.
Standard – commercial; full format list and automation features (excluding CLI/DLL).
Pro – commercial; includes command‑line and DLL components.

Reception

PhotographyBlog described Watch Folders as simplifying unattended processing.^[2] Software directory SnapFiles rates the program 4 / 5, noting its extensive format support and trial limitation.^[7]
