Varie Drop: Review

VarieDrop is one of its kind software that allows you to change the formats of images stored on your computer. Once in a while, you may come across a certain website that accepts images only of a specific format. At times like that, VarieDrop is of great use to convert the images to required formats. This software is compatible with all versions of Windows operating system viz., Windows XP (32/64 bit) Windows Vista (32/64 bit), Windows 7(32/64 bit) and Windows 8(32/64 bit).

FEATURES:

VarieDrop version 1.3.1.0 accepts from your computer, the images with formats like JPG, BNP, TIF, JPEG and GIF. It is absolutely easy to use because of its simple options and instructions to be entered. This software is very handy when you have the need of a particular format for use. Because of its very small size, this software does not occupy much space on the hard disk. At the same time, the processing speed is quite high and the system does not go into a halt because of this software. You can add image files to this software with a simple drag and drop option, making it further user-friendly. The output is produced with just a few clicks and within a few seconds of time. This software comes with four areas of configurable options where you can drop your desired images and work on them. You can also resize or rename the output image as wanted. This is a simple software tool that can be used for a single purpose but wide range applications are not available. You have no option to include basic effects, rotate or crop the image, add watermarks or change the brightness or contrast levels.

COMPARISONS:

VarieDrop is a small software tool that supports tasks which can be performed by many other big software tools. Using other tools like ‘NConvert’, ‘Image Convert and Resizer’ and ‘Acron’, you can possibly achieve the same output as you do using VarieDrop software. Apart from these tools, you could also use popular software tools like Microsoft Office Picture Manager or Adobe Photoshop to resize and convert images to different formats. Though recommended on the internet, VarieDrop is not a popular tool when it comes to conversion of image formats.

CONCLUSION:

With four configuration windows allowing you the ability to alter the settings when your image is being converted, VarieDrop is a good software for image converting. Low size (just 748 KB) standing as an added advantage, this software will not consume any of your RAM speed, nor does it occupy any disk space too. For short term image conversion, when you are in a hurry to upload an image file onto a website that accepts only a particular format, VarieDrop comes as handy. Also, there is no harm in installing such a small tool that might become useful once in a while.

DEVELOPERS:

VarieDrop is a product developed by a Chinese firm INAGAKI. Other software tools from the same developer also include Primg, Bgcall, Unifie, Vieas, Vieas Ex, Leafier, Tinuous, JCropper, SPReader, Trimto and SendToConvert.
