FlipExt3 Build 3.0.01

As you probably know by now, the same content can be found under different file formats, and this is because of the different methods used to build them. It enabled development of better storing options, to enhance quality, and even pictures benefit from various different formats. In case some pictures really need to be of a specific type, FlipExt can easily help you out.

Simple interface makes it easy to use

A great thing about it is that it doesn’t take you through the effort of installing it, and can be launched right after download. This can also be done from a thumb drive, even on other computers, without any registries being modified to ensure functionality. On the other hand, it completely relies on .NET Framework, so you need to check if it’s on the computer you use it on.On the visual side of things, all features you get to work with are stored in a plain simple interface, with most of the space used to provide a preview of the image you want to convert. Unfortunately, this needs to be done through the built-in browse dialog, because dragging it over the main window has no effect.

Supports various image files

Supported formats provide a great deal of flexibility, and you can easily convert pictures of formats like PNG, JPG, WMF, EMF, TIF, TIFF, BMP, JPEG, DIB, and GIF. This goes for both import and export, but you’re only able to process one file at a time.The whole process only lasts a few seconds from the moment you run the application, until you get the final result. The original file is not overwritten, because right before the process starts, you’re asked where to save the new file.Since batch processing is not supported, it would have been useful to use the application’s features from the context menu. What’s more, there’s no editing involved, not even for quality, so you need to use extra tools in this regard.

In conclusion

Bottom line is that even for pictures, file formats can represent limitations, but in most cases defines a particular requirement. Although it doesn’t cover all existing image file formats, FlipExt comes in handy for quickly getting the right type of file you need, given the one you’re looking for is among the supported ones.
