In 2012, Edward Mendelson of PCMagazine said

Quoting Edward Mendelson of PCMagazine begins One reason this app stands out from the competition is that it’s been in continuous development since 1992 … And the author has had time to add every feature you can imagine and a few dozen that you’ve never thought of. GraphicConverter does more things with more formats than any other application I’ve ever seen on any platform. It’s both the only choice and our Editors’ Choice.

Quoting Vern Seward, The Mac Observer begins For every obscure format GraphicConverter supports … It supports all of the far more common formats, as well. GraphicConverter is one of those tools that you don’t know you need until you need it. Quoting  ends

Thorsten Lemke, founder of Lemke Software GmbH says

Quoting Thorsten Lemke begins GraphicConverter is a universal image editing program which, for many users, is as natural a part of their Mac as Apple’s operating system itself … The idea for GraphicConverter occurred more than twenty years ago when I wanted to convert my entire picture collection into one of the standard Mac formats. Unfortunately there weren’t any programs available that could do this so I created a program to accomplish this job myself. As soon as I offered GraphicConverter to other users on a shareware basis, an impressive track record of successes began. Today, GraphicConverter has more than 1.5 million users worldwide and is one of the most used and loved programs on the shareware market. This program has even impressed Apple, who include GraphicConverter as a pre-installed application on many of their computers.
      Although GraphicConverter’s level of success is naturally based upon the quality of the program, it is also a testament to the commitment of loyal GraphicConverter users everywhere. Their suggestions and ideas have actively supported the development of the program, such as the addition of the new image verifier. This close corroboration with our users has helped us develop this conversion tool into the professional image editing program it is today.Quoting  ends
