Your First Conversion
The Convert tab is the default view. Drop one file or a whole folder — the same tab handles both.
Step 1 — Add a file
Drag and drop a .cgm file onto the drop zone, or click Add Files to browse.
Step 2 — Set an output directory
Click the folder icon next to Output Directory and select a destination.
Step 3 — Select the input profile
| Profile | When the file comes from… |

Step 4 — Convert
Click Convert or press f5. The output .svg is written to your output directory with the same base filename.
