Installing XnConvert on Linux<\/h2>\n

XnConvert supports Linux via a downloadable DEB package for Ubuntu and Debian. Additionally, the Arch Linux User Repository has a community package available, and XnConvert is also available on Flathub as a Flatpak.<\/p>\n

To get the app working on your computer, you\u2019ll first need to open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop. You can open up a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way.<\/p>\n

Once the terminal window is open and ready to go, the installation of XnConvert can begin. Using the distribution-specific installation instructions outlined below, set up the latest release of XnConvert on your computer.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

On Ubuntu, if you wish to install XnConvert, you\u2019ll need to download a DEB package. To get your hands on the latest DEB package for your system, make use of the following wget<\/strong> download command.<\/p>\n

\nwget https:\/\/download.xnview.com\/XnConvert-linux-x64.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the XnConvert DEB package, installation can begin. Using the apt install<\/strong> command, set up the latest release of the app on your computer.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt install .\/XnConvert-linux-x64.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
If you use Debian, you will need to install the XnConvert application via a downloadable DEB package. To get your hands on the latest XnConvert DEB package, use the wget<\/strong> commands below.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/download.xnview.com\/XnConvert-linux-x64.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Or, if you are using 32-bit Debian:<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/download.xnview.com\/XnConvert-linux.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the package to your computer, XnConvert is ready to install. Using the dpkg<\/strong> command, set up the latest release of XnConvert on your Debian system.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i XnConvert-*.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Following the installation of XnConvert on Debian, you must correct any dependency issues that may have occurred during the installation process. To do this, execute the following apt-get install -f<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
The XnConvert program is available on the Arch Linux AUR. However, you\u2019ll need to install an AUR helper program to get the app working (unless you wish to compile it by hand).<\/p>\n
There are many great AUR helper tools out there for Arch. In this guide, we\u2019ll focus on Trizen as it is quick to install. To get the Trizen application working, execute the following commands below in succession.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S base-devel git\ngit clone https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/trizen.git\ncd trizen\/\nmakepkg -sri\n<\/pre>\n
With the Trizen AUR helper tool working on Arch Linux, you\u2019ll be able to get the XnConvert program working in a matter of seconds. Then, using the trizen -S<\/strong> command, set up the latest XnConvert.<\/p>\n
\ntrizen -S xnconvert --noconfirm\n<\/pre>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
Those using Fedora, OpenSUSE, or other Linux distributions not listed in this tutorial will need to install XnConvert via a Flatpak package. Thankfully, setting up the Flatpak runtime is relatively easy.<\/p>\n
To get the Flatpak runtime working on your computer, install the \u201cflatpak\u201d package. Alternatively, follow our in-depth tutorial on how to set up the Flatpak runtime.<\/p>\n
After setting up the Flatpak runtime, install the latest XnConvert on your computer with the two commands below.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\nflatpak install flathub com.xnview.XnConvert\n<\/pre>\n
How to convert images on Linux with XnConvert<\/h2>\n
To convert images with the XnConvert app on Linux, do the following. First, launch the app on the desktop. You can launch XnConvert by searching for it in the applications menu.<\/p>\n
With the XnConvert program open, follow the step-by-step instructions below.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Find the \u201cAdd files\u201d button and click on it with the mouse. Upon selecting this button, a pop-up window will appear. Browse for the files you wish to convert with the app and import them.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Click on the \u201cOutput\u201d tab inside XnConvert. Then, find the \u201cFormat\u201d drop-down menu. In the \u201cFormat\u201d drop-down menu, change the setting \u201cSame as original\u201d to the desired format.<\/p>\n
For example, to convert PNGs to JPGs, select the \u201cJPG \u2013 JPEG\/ JFIF\u201d option.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> After selecting your format, find the \u201cFolder\u201d area of the Output tab. Then, click on the browse button to browse where you\u2019d like the converted files to save.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> Find the \u201cInput\u201d tab in XnConvert. Once on this tab, click on the \u201cConvert\u201d button in the bottom-right-hand corner. Select this button to start the conversion process.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/strong> The image conversion process should not take a long time. But it can take a few minutes, especially if the image files are large. When the process is complete, open up your output folder to view the newly converted image files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
