The Image Converter □ Reviews

by Lemmetellyallsumrealquick

OK so for starters, before I can even have access to convert an image TheImageConverter asked me "hey do you want a free trial of one week before paying 2.99 at the end of the week so you can have access?" Im like ok sweet sure,As soon as I make the purchase I get immediately charged $3.40 and to top it all off, the JPEG converted pictures doesn't even work properly on other platforms, TheImageConverter in my personal opinion, is a waste of space. Stop lying to your customers, you unprofessional twats.

Makes you convert one at a time, even with the premium purchases. I have 67 photos to convert. Far too tedious. They say in the FAQ that they only have single to keep TheImageConverter simple. Maybe add an advanced option for those us who can handle such complexity? Also doesn’t immediately save the file back to your photos so you have to click the convert button, scroll through to your photo, choose the type to convert to (maybe allow users to select a default and skip that screen?), convert, save to photos, and select the next. Canceled my subscription and deleting TheImageConverter .

I have no clue if TheImageConverter even works, because the “optional subscription” is not optional. It wouldn’t let me convert a single photo without subscribing. I’m not interested in a subscription to concert maybe a couple of image files per year while on my phone. I ended up using the CloudConvert website and it worked just fine without having to pay anything. I would only consider subscribing to a conversion app if I had to batch convert many files while on mobile (which I don’t) and was given a proper trial (which I wasn’t). This nonsense? No thanks.

The You Tube video that I saw showed that after the image was converted it allowed you to change some things to tweak it. When I use it, it converts the image but does not show it to you and only allows you to save it to your choice of places. Then when I go to open where it was saved. Then when you try to open the saved photo the cursor just spins and spins forever, never opening the file. The one time I got it to open, the photo was a blob of black and did not even come close to resembling the original photo. I guess I just wasted $ 2.99.
Why won’t it work properly ?

I downloaded TheImageConverter to try for use with mu cricut. I did not like it and used it once. This morning I noticed another charge, so I am assuming this is a monthly subscription, but I cannot find that information in their info where I downloaded TheImageConverter . I bought NO in app purchases. All I did was download one image to try it out. There is not a phone number anywhere to contact them. I feel like I was scammed. If it's somewhere in the description it is hidden so well because I just checked again. Odd that the only was to contact them is through a email. I hate companies that do this. It so dishonest

I wanted to convert a file from an .eps to a .jpg using my iPhone. I used the url for the .eps file and got an error. I was told by app support that often times urls don’t work due to security or redirects and to download the file instead. I get the reasoning but why have the url feature then especially on an iPhone app? I am not going to mess with getting an .eps file onto my phone (not even sure I can) and then convert it. Had to go a different route and just wanted a refund because I couldn’t get it to work but apparently that is easier said than done.

Free version is bad, just ask for two dollars up front. (Current price: $2 a month or $5 lifetime)

This service is the kind of thing where you use it for a few documents, then immediately forget about it for 6 months. The free version allows you to convert one file a week. So if you need to convert two files in a hurry, you’ll nearly be forced to do the free trial. Then you’ll forget about it and end up paying $12 for a service you barely need. A flat 2 or 2.50 price tag would work better up front, since in my very limited experience with the actual service, it’s smooth and quick. Not quite worth 5 dollars.

Purchased TheImageConverter because I needed to convert a jpg to a vector image. After reading other reviews I thought it might work for what I need. Did it once as (svg) and the image was completely black which won't work for me at all. Tried it in a different vector format (eps) and couldn't do it at all. Went back to the svg format and kept getting errors.

This was a big disappointment for what I needed. Now I will say, it may convert to the other formats perfectly fine but I didn't spend the 2.99 for that. Live and learn I guess.

It would be nice to know how to end this service it doesn’t work for what I needed it for the information given is vague and I may be slow with this technical stuff but I fill like the information to cancel this service is hidden it should be a bold button to click on the front of the page asking cancel or don’t cancel, please what am I supposed to do to cancel this service.

At first I thought I was wasted money, but eventually I figured put which pictures it converts best and now I use it every day with my Cricut. Wish it did a better job sometimes. With an iPad and Cricut app you are limited with what you can do, but this gives you a little help. I wish it could convert several colors into svg files. Would definitely be worth more.

I love TheImageConverter everything was working perfectly I even switched to the paid version right away but then all of a sudden it just stopped working it keeps telling me I need to connect to the internet but I am connected I tried on and off WiFi and I even deleted and reinstalled nothing is working contacted support and haven’t heard back yet HELP!

Like everyone out there, I'm always trying to find a way to save money while being creative. I've started to use TheImageConverter to covert JPEG files into files that I can use for my cricut machine. It's a creat converter but beware of light colors, it will not convert over. Overall, this is a great app to use. You won't be disappointed but you will need to find a way to grey scale it before converting.

TheImageConverter works great for me! I use it for converting images to use with my cricut. It works better for me than any other online converters I have used and I love that I can save it directly to my cloud or email it to myself/someone else. Definitely worth $2.99!!

I was sad to see that iPhone full page screen shot only saved as a pdf file and could not save to photos. With TheImageConverter it saved it as a jpg and right to my photos. Thank you!

I was so happy to have this as one of my tool. I sadly deleted it when it won’t open and will just disappear on my screen. I have tried on and off for 3 days deleting and downloading loading hoping it will start up again. That was 2mos ago. As I was searching for another tool today heard of Imaengine, I thought I’d give it a try again....and am so thankful it’s WORKING again. I hope it will stay reliable. I bought TheImageConverter long before....you just can’t beat this converter.

Fantastic app for converting images. I don't understand what one woman complains about regarding extra charges and poor conversion. This is one of the cleanest raster to vector conversions that I have used, including $30 app that I use on my Mac. Nor have I experienced any repetitive or extra charges. This solid gold gem is easy to use--simply select your input image, then select your output format, wait a minute, and done! Since I usually convert to SVG format, I know that I must save it to a vector app or file it somewhere -- either to my cloud drive or an iOS file manager. Personally I use Readdle's Document for my file manager and Graphic for my vector app. There are lots of similar apps at a variety of price levels. Just don't try to save a psd or svg to your camera roll. Incompatible. Hope this review and info helps others!

It was seriously so easy to use. I spent 45 minutes trying to figure out how to change a HEIC image to a gif and if I would have downloaded TheImageConverter first it would have saved me so much time. Definitely try TheImageConverter out!!!

I use TheImageConverter to convert photos in my library to "line art" or vector format, which I edit/open-in my illustration programs. Most of the time, I convert the original photos using a app called "Vectorize It" to get black and white line art bit maps. This makes the conversion to vector paths way faster and allows for reducing complexity.

I have a business with a POS program that requires certain photo formats. It is so time consuming to do on computer and I hardly ever use my computer. I can simply upload a photo from my phone or iPad and convert the format within seconds. I email it to myself and download on computer in order to plug into my POS email. I can do it quicker than I can open a photo program on my computer. Thanks!!!

This was the sole reason I was in need of a conversion app and it can't get the job done. I make flyers using Pages on my ipad2 and need to convert them to jpg's. (Pages can't save as jpgs.) TheImageConverter converts them to a zip file which I had to buy another app to unzip. The images attached to emails are tiny and blurry.

TheImageConverter is the easiest way I've found to convert any image you find into an svg for use in Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Designer Studio.
Found something that would make a great sign? Found a design that would make an awesome stencil? You can make it into a svg in a snap!!
A must have!!!

by ANuttLogan

I bought TheImageConverter like so many others to avoid paying for every single image I wanted to use with my cricut for various projects (the vinyl is expensive enough). It has worked beautifully for my purposes!
