I'm pretty sure XNView or IrfanView windows tools can do this SCR2JPG/SCRTOJPG/SCR2PNG/SCRTOPNG-conversion. But I have to try...

@Morcar as I´m on journey until Tuesday, I can only supply this informations I found ATM:

For IrfanView I found this article: https://irfanview-forum.de/forum/program/support/3299-
Here is a simple version allowing drag-n-drop input and typing the output:

(Windows Batch/CMD):

Code: Select all

@echo off
set /p Path=Output Path:
cd "C:\Program Files\IrfanView"
i_view32.exe %1 /resize=(80,60) /resample /convert="%Path%\$N.jpg"
exit
...
I think this can be altered for doing SCR-to-JPG or SCR-to-PNG Batch-Conversions.

XNView supplies NConvert-Utility for conversion: https://www.xnview.com/en/nconvert/
