Convert CorelDRAW CDR files to press-ready CMYK PDFs in seconds, no CorelDRAW required. Step-by-step GUI, CLI, and Watch-Folder workflows in reaConverter 8.
reaConverter hides the option in the format-specific dialog — one click unlocks a print-perfect, press-ready file. The guide below shows exactly where that setting lives, why CMYK matters, and how to batch or automate the workflow.
Batch-convert dozens of iPhone HEIC photos to JPG on Windows 10/11 with free reaConverter Lite. No internet, no ads — just fast, loss-free results.
Most “HEIC → JPG” articles push you toward:
reaConverter, even the free Lite edition — lets you drag-in a whole folder of .HEIC images and spit out full-quality JPGs offline in one click. In this post you’ll learn exactly how, plus pro tips to hit perfect image quality and file naming every time.
Target reader: Anyone with a stack of iPhone photos on a Windows PC — photographers, real-estate agents, social-media managers, or parents off-loading holiday pics.
Drag, drop, done — turn any folder into an instant file converter.
A Watch Folder is simply a normal Windows folder that reaConverter silently “watches.” Whenever you drop or copy a file into that folder, the program automatically converts (and optionally edits) the file and saves the result wherever you tell it — without you having to press a single button. It’s a built-in automation tool designed for non-technical users who regularly handle dozens or thousands of images, or documents.
Windows 11 slimmed its right-click (context) menu and hides many third-party options behind “Show more options.” That second click slows you down — especially when you’re batching dozens of images. reaConverter Pro 8 solves the problem by wiring itself directly into the modern Windows 11 menu, so one click launches an instant conversion using your favorite preset.
If you still see the older two-step experience, Microsoft’s design simply tucks extra items under the submenu; you can always click Show more options to reveal them.
If you are planning to print a graphics file on a plotting device, then converting it to PLT is the best option. Whether you are using a cutting plotter, a pen plotter or some other similar machine, the PLT format will ensure what you create on screen will match what you see in print.
PLTs are vector files that use the HPGL language and can be sent directly to print on a plotter. Such devices are often used for large-scale graphics such as maps, detailed plans or diagrams, posters and many more. The PLT format was originally created for Hewlett-Packard printers only, but in time became an actual standard in the industry. PLTs are currently compatible with most brands of plotting machines.
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a vector format used for storing images and drawings. Such files can contain maps, logos or detailed layouts and can include both vector and bitmap data. Compared to the similar PS format, EPS not only uses the PostScript language to describe graphics, but also stores an “encapsulated” preview of low-resolution, that can be displayed by some programs.
Using ICC profiles is an absolute must when you want to do effective color management. The reason is simple: they contain all essential data needed for the correct rendering of colors.
ICC stands for International Color Consortium — an independent organization launched in 1993 by eight vendors with the aim of promoting color management systems across different platforms. The ICC profile of an image contains detailed descriptions of how its colors should be rendered, including color space and distribution, how the lightest and darkest tones are dispersed and combined throughout the image pixels etc.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a versatile format based on the XML markup language, supporting a variety of static and moving images — drawings, animations, interactive graphics and more. Launched as an open standard at the end of the 1990s, the SVG format is currently compatible with most web browsers and can be edited using any text editor or graphics program. This is great news for developers, as they can use SVG to create various types of graphical applications.
SWF stands for “small web format” or “Shockwave Flash” and represents an animated image extension currently part of the Adobe group of proprietary formats. Together with GIF and PNG, SWF represents one of the most widely used extensions for posting online short animations or applets than can include interactive features. Some of the main advantages of using SWF include fast loading time, supporting scalable graphics and transparencies.
The PLT (Plotter) format is the best option when you plan to print maps, detailed building plans, banners, large posters or other types of line and curve drawings in full-color. Initially launched by Hewlett Packard for its own plotter printers, the PLT extension has now become an actual standard for almost all brands of cutting plotters.
PLT files can be created using AutoCAD and a few other types of computer-aided design software, or through conversion. They contain vector images which maintain their quality when scaled to different sizes and use the HPGL language. The main advantage of PLTs over PDFs, for example, is that they are designed particularly for plotter printers, which means you can send the large-scale graphics file directly to print.
