Image Converter

Convert a folder full of GIF image files to JPG image files quickly. Users of Deep-Sky Planner 9 may need this tool since version 9 uses JPG formatted DSS files instead of GIF files like previous versions. JPG files are generally smaller than their GIF counterparts. This utility is multi-threaded for speed and has a responsive Stop Converting button.

To use Image Converter

1. Enter the folder that contains the GIF files to be converted. When converting Deep-Sky Planner 8 DSS images for version 9, this should be C:\Users\<windows account>\Documents\Deep-Sky Planner 8\DSSCache. You can enter any folder that you need to convert.

2. Enter a (target) folder name for the converted JPG files. This can be the same as the GIF folder, or a different one if you wish. When converting Deep-Sky Planner 8 DSS images for version 9, this should be C:\Users\<windows account>\Documents\Deep-Sky Planner 9\DSSCache.
Important: If a JPG file already exists in the target folder, it will be overwritten.

3. Click Start Converting. The progress of conversions is shown in the status box and on the Progress bar. You can stop the operation by clicking Stop Converting.

4. Click Close to close the Converter application.

Be careful!

Image files require a lot of storage space. You may want to delete some of these image files when they are no longer needed.
