The LEAD Command Line Image File Converter is perfect for any one that needs to convert a single file or batch convert an entire directory in a batch file. And best of all is it free!

The Image File converter can convert to and from an extensive list of image formats. Additionally, it can resize and change the color depth of the image as it converts.

The general syntax for the LEAD Command Line Image File Converter is:
LFC [Drive:][Source] [Drive:][Target] [/F] [/B] [/Q] [/S] [/L] [/R]

The following are descriptions for each of the LEAD Image File Converter arguments:

  • [Drive:][Source]: Specifies drive, source images directory to convert.
  • [Drive:][Target]: Specifies drive, target images directory for output.
  • /S: Specified to recurse sub-directories of the source directory and convert all the supported images in the root and sub-directories to the target directory. In this case, the directory tree from the source directory will be recreated in the target directory.
    (ex. “C:\SrcDir C:\DestDir /S”).
  • /B: Specified with integer number to change the target images BitsPerPixel. If this flag is not specified, the image(s) will be saved with the original image BPP.
    NOTE: If the specified BPP is not supported for the target file format, then the nearest smaller supported BPP will be used as the target BPP.
    (ex. “C:\SrcDir C:\DestDir /B24”).
  • /F: Specified with integer number based on LEAD defined file formats (E.g. /F2) or with any of LEAD defined file format constant. In this case, you have to insert (=) between the flag and LEAD defined file format (E.g. /F=FILE_GIF) to change the target file format. If this flag is not specified, LEAD_CMP will be used as the default output format.
    NOTE: For a full list of LEAD defined file formats, you can use the (?) with the /F flag (ex. /F?).
    (ex. “C:\SrcDir C:\DestDir /F2” //for GIF).
  • /Q: Specified with integer number in the range 2-255 to change the target image quality factor. If this flag is not specified, 120 will be used as the default value for Qfactor for formats that support compression.
    (ex. “C:\SrcDir C:\DestDir /Q255”).
  • /R: Specified to change the target image dimensions (ex. /R800x600). You can maintain the aspect ratio for the target image by only specifying one dimension or you can enter (?) or (0) as the image width or height argument.
    (ex. #1: “C:\SrcDir C:\DestDir /R???x600” – in this case the width will be automatically calculated maintaining the aspect ratio).
    (ex. #2: “C:\SrcDir C:\DestDir /R800” – in this case the image height will be automatically calculated maintaining the aspect ratio).
  • /L: Specified to create a log file that contains each file conversion result. You can specify the path to where the log file will be created using the /L flag. If you do not specify a location, the default log file will be (C:\ConvLog.txt).
    (ex. C:\SrcDir C:\DestDir /L“C:\LogDir\LogFile.txt” or C:\SrcDir C:\DestDir /L).
