The application supports batch conversion, allowing you to convert multiple files at once.

It supports a wide range of formats like avi, mp4, mp3, ogg, jpeg, png, bmp, and many more.

Through its graphical interface, users can easily select input files, choose the desired output format and tweak optional conversion settings if desired, before initiating the conversion process. Conversion is done without any loss of quality.
