Alchemy is an open-source desktop file converter built on Electron and React that lives in the menu bar on macOS and Windows. It offers a drag-and-drop interface for batch-converting files between formats and for merging multiple images into a single PDF or GIF with customizable ordering.
Use cases
- batch convert images to different formats
- merge multiple images into one pdf
- create a gif from a series of images
- convert files quickly from the menu bar
- drag and drop file conversion without the terminal
- reorder screenshots and combine them into a pdf
When to choose
- You want a simple, visual drag-and-drop GUI for converting images instead of command-line tools like ImageMagick
- You need to combine several images into a single PDF while controlling their order
- You prefer an open-source converter that is always accessible from the menu bar
When to avoid
- The latest release dates to March 2021, so the project appears inactive and may lack bug fixes and modern format support
- You need to convert non-image file types such as documents, audio, or video — supported operations focus on image conversion plus PDF/GIF merging
- You need a supported Linux build — Linux is explicitly untested
- You need scriptable or headless batch conversion in a pipeline — this is an interactive desktop GUI
