Alchemy is an open-source desktop file converter built with Electron and React that lives in the macOS/Windows menu bar. It lets users drag and drop files to batch-convert them between formats or merge images into a PDF or GIF.

Use cases

  • convert images to pdf
  • batch convert image files to different formats
  • merge multiple images into one pdf
  • convert files from the menu bar
  • make a gif from images
  • drag and drop file converter app

When to choose

  • you want a simple, free, open-source GUI for converting images
  • you need to merge several images into a single PDF quickly
  • you prefer a lightweight menu bar utility over command-line tools

When to avoid

  • you need conversion of non-image file types like video or documents
  • you need a tool that is actively maintained with recent updates
  • you require guaranteed Linux support
