Welcome to the ABIC project homepage

This is the Homepage of Advanced Batch Image Compression (ABIC), a program to convert image files in a wide variety of formats.

Features of ABIC:

  • It converts image files in various formats (among them are JPG, TIFF, PNG, JPEG-2000, WebP)
  • Multithreading: ABIC will use every core to convert image files, if multiple files are selected (with restrictions, see documentation page)
  • Multiplatform: Binaries for Windows 32/64 bit (with and without installers) and OS X are provided, source code is available for compilation on Linux and other Unixes.
  • There is a portable version which stores nothing in ini-files or in the registry
  • Capable of converting 16-bit-images
  • Preview
  • Completely free, no nags, no additional downloads like toolbars etc.
ABIC builds upon GraphicsMagick and can therefore read and write many formats, also historic ones. Additionally to the formats supported by GraphicsMagick, ABIC also includes libiff/libilbm to be able to read Amiga IFF (ILBM) pictures.
The quality and compression settings for the main export formats JPG, TIFF, PNG, JPEG-2000 and WebP can be set via the user interface.
