Keep Path Info and Folders Structure

reaConverter includes a series of features that help you keep files, folders and subfolders in good order during conversion, thus helping you avoid doing a series of repetitive and dull arranging operations manually.
One of the very useful features of this type is the one that helps you preserve the file path and folder structure info from a folder of your choice while converting your images. Available options include the source folder, root folder and current folder.

How to keep path info during file conversion?

1. Open Images

Load one or more images you intend to convert. Use the handy drag-and-drop tool or add files manually, either individually or by selecting entire image folders.
