XnConvert is an easy to use batch image converter and resizer. It comes in several different languages, supports a lot of image file formats and has many features. It is specifically designed to add modifications to several pictures at once, and thus it is quite stable.
The program is designed to be used with very little effort. Images first have to be added in the Input tab, and you can select as many as you want. Whole folders can be added as well. After this you need to go to the Actions tab in order to select which modifications you want to add. Here you can choose to resize, to add a watermark, change the brightness and the color depth and more. You can also add custom effects like waves or a 3D border and many others. A really nice thing is that on the right side of the screen you have the Before and After versions of the photos. This is very good because you can check to see if you are satisfied with the modifications added. In the Output tab you can select the folder, which you want your files to be sent to. There are some other options as well. You can choose to delete the original photos if you want and also change the file names among other things. There is also a Status tab which basically shows the conversion progress and estimates how long it will take.
Ultimately I liked the program's simplicity, and the only thing that bothered me was the fact that there is no help section. It is simple to use, however a lot of the effects might confuse people who aren't familiar with programs of this type.
