Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CloudConvert at 75% against The Image Converter □'s 29%. CloudConvert also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). The Image Converter □'s advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (17K vs 93). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Image Converter □ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Image Converter □ has 17K ratings behind it against 93, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of CloudConvert's written reviews are positive against 29% of The Image Converter □'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CloudConvert ships an update fortnightly, The Image Converter □ every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
