Similar to XnConvert or Pixillion Image Converter, Ashampoo Photo Converter 2 strikes a good balance between user-friendliness and advanced features, catering to beginners and intermediate users alike. Newcomers can also check the free trial to test the tool’s capabilities for themselves.

Capable yet intuitive image editing

Put simply, Ashampoo Photo Converter 2 aims to address a common yet important need for an image converter that is capable but easy to use. It supports over 20 image formats for better compatibility and covers the basics, such as adjusting alignment, size, and standard parameters like saturation, contrast, and sharpness. There’s even a feature to add watermarks for ownership.

For more advanced editing tools, you can access the effects section for more than 30 special presets, including inverted colors, greyscaling, and artistic effects. You can even apply automatic image optimization and let the tool tweak your photos for you. A unique feature is the ability to add EXIF Date to embed meta information about when your picture was taken.

It also supports batch processing, so you can add multiple images to the queue and sort them by priority for increased efficiency. If you’re not satisfied with the results, there’s a quick undo function to revert any changes. Now, while you can preview edited pictures in Ashampoo Photo Converter 2, they are a bit too small, making it hard to see how well the edits look.

A solid image conversion solution

Overall, Ashampoo Photo Converter 2 is a solid converting tool that covers the basics well and offers a good amount of advanced editing effects that will suffice for most needs. It’s intuitive to use and can do batch processing, which is always a plus. While it does have its drawbacks, they don’t take away from all the things this app offers.
