If the Output folder is the same as the Source folder, or left blank, the files will be overwrittten.

The Convert to dropdown option allows you to convert all the files to a popular format.

The Compression dropdown option allows you to compress the files, either without losing quality or sacrifing some quality for greater reduced file size.

The Quality dropdown option allows you to change quality of supported file types. The higher the Quality setting, the more detail is preserved in the image, but the larger the file size.

The Resize dropdown option allows you to resize the picture by height, width and percentage while keeping the aspect ratio of the image.
