Seattle, USA – June 10, 2025

Just weeks after the release-candidate build electrified early adopters, ReaSoft Development today unveils reaConverter 8, the fastest, most automation-ready edition of its flagship batch-conversion platform yet. Version 8 (Build 8.0.105, finalized June 6, 2025) adds native support for 700+ file types, instant-trigger Watch Folders, and an expanded command-line engine—features that slash repetitive imaging chores from hours to seconds while fitting seamlessly into modern Windows 11 and server pipelines.

A Generation-Jump in Heavy-Duty Conversion

700+ Formats, Zero Compromises – From RAW photos and DWG CAD drawings to DICOM medical scans, reaConverter 8 Pro ingests and exports virtually any raster, vector or document format without quality loss.
One-Click Automation – Re-engineered Watch Folders monitor any network location; simply drop files in and let reaConverter apply pre-saved workflows 24/7.
Industrial-Grade CLI – The updated cons_rcp.exe tool now supports multi-threading, job tickets and granular logging, enabling DevOps teams to script thousands of conversions in a single line.
Windows 11 Context Menu Integration – reaConverter presets surface directly in the streamlined right-click menu, eliminating extra clicks in Microsoft’s latest OS.

A Family of Options

reaConverter 8 — For agencies, engineers and other power users, the desktop edition delivers over 700 in-and-out formats, advanced editing, context-menu shortcuts and industrial-grade automation through Watch Folders, a multi-threaded CLI and DLL hooks. A single-user licence costs US $49 per year with free updates and support.

reaConverter 8 Lite — The freeware Lite edition gives freelancers, students and hobbyists the same rock-solid conversion core in a lightweight package. It integrates a right-click “Convert” action into Windows Explorer, works entirely offline and handles the most common image types out of the box.

reaConverter 8 Online — Need a quick conversion from any device? The classical Online service lets you upload files to ReaSoft’s secure servers, process them in the cloud and download results in seconds.

reaConverter 8 Web — For privacy-first workflows, Web runs the entire engine inside your browser via WebAssembly, so no file ever leaves your computer. It converts RAW photos, PDFs, PSDs, WebP and more at lightning speed with zero size limits or installations.
