MultiConv 1.1 Documentation
MultiConv is a command line tool which can resize/convert multiple image
files (bmp, jpg, tif...) at the same time. Best for producing thumbnails or extracting
multiple pages from a tif file. Very good reduction quality.
Alternative
The next version of MultiConv, PhotoWorker 2.0,
now is available for download. With
a Windows GUI, PhotoWorker is much easier to use, and more powerful.
Chris Merrill also developed a GUI for MultiConv that will make using of MultiConv
much easier. You can download it from his website:

Advanced Options:
| /pre:prefix |
Add prefix to the output file name. e.g., if the source file
name is "image1.bmp", and you specify "/pre:s_" in the command line,
the output file name would be "s_image1.bmp"
|
| /suf:suffix |
Add suffix to the output file name. |
| /nr |
Do not recursively traverse the whole directory. Only look
for files directly in the specified source directory.
|
| /zp:zeropadding |
For multi-page image file like tif, if the source file name is "pic.tif",
then generated file names would be: "pic1.jpg", "pic2.jpg" ...
However, if you specify "/zp:2", then numbers will be padded 0's if the width
of the number is less than 2. Thus the output file name would be: "pic01.jpg",
"pic02.jpg", ... Default /zp value is 2.
