How to install the latest version of the Converseen image converter

Converseen is an open source batch image resizer and converter, written in C ++ with the Qt4 libraries (and now ported to Qt5) and Magick ++.

If you work with many images and need to convert them quickly, this application is the right tool.

With it it is possible to resize a lot of photos with different sizes while maintaining the aspect ratio. It allows you to automatically convert, resize , rotate and invert an unlimited number of images.

In addition, thanks to the use of Magick ++ libraries, it supports more than 100 image formats like DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PhotoCD, PNG, Postscript, SVG, TIFF and many others.

With the Converseen batch image converter, you can:

• Perform a single or multiple conversion;
• Resize one or more images;
• Compress images to your web pages;
• Rotate and invert images;
• Rename a bunch of images using a progressive number or a prefix / suffix;
• Select a resampling filter to resize images.

The program works on Windows, Linux and FreeBSD. It comes with Magick ++ image libraries, which supports more than 100 image formats.
