Orenvo Pro user guide

Get started with Orenvo Pro.

Learn how to convert batches, create GIFs and DDS textures, remove backgrounds, upscale images, and save repeatable Windows workflows with Orenvo Pro 5.2.

Quick facts

Supported image processing runs locally on your Windows PC.
Free includes 10 Background Removal uses and 10 Upscaling uses.
Pro supports 20 output formats, unlimited batches, and folder automation.
Windows 11 x64 is tested. Windows 10 x64 may work but is not officially tested.

Install or update

Direct link

Use the official Windows x64 installer for a new installation or an update.

  1. 01Download Orenvo Pro from the official product page or GitHub release.
  2. 02Close Orenvo if it is open, then run the installer.
  3. 03Launch Orenvo. A normal update keeps your settings and license.
  4. 04The first use of an AI tool may download its model. Later processing stays on your PC.
Only download Orenvo from kenolabs.dev or the official kenolabs11-sys/OrenvoPro GitHub releases page.

Convert a batch

Direct link

Add files, choose one output recipe, preview it, and process the queue.

  1. 01Open Converter and drag in images or folders, or use the add button.
  2. 02Choose an output format. Orenvo shows only the settings that apply to it.
  3. 03Set the output folder, resize rule, naming rule, and overwrite behavior if needed.
  4. 04Preview one representative image, then choose Convert.
  • You can pause and resume long batches.
  • Stopping a batch keeps files that were already completed.
  • History records finished jobs so you can review or repeat them.

Choose the right format

Direct link

Choose based on where the finished image will be used.

  • JPG for photographs and small files; PNG for lossless quality and transparency.
  • WEBP or AVIF for modern websites; HEIC/HEIF for Apple-oriented photo workflows.
  • TIFF or TGA for editing and production; ICO for Windows icons.
  • GIF for simple animation; DDS for game textures; EXR or HDR for high-dynamic-range work.
  • JXL, QOI, BMP, PAM, PPM, PGM, and PBM are available for specialist workflows.
Free supports JPG, PNG, and WEBP output. Pro unlocks all 20 output formats and unlimited batch size.

Create an animated GIF

Direct link

Build a GIF visually from still images and preview the order before export.

  1. 01Add the images you want to use as frames and choose GIF.
  2. 02Drag frame cards on the timeline to set their order.
  3. 03Choose the frame timing, loop behavior, canvas fit, and palette quality.
  4. 04Preview the animation, then convert it.
Consistent frame dimensions create smoother animation. A smaller canvas and fewer colors usually reduce file size.

Export a DDS texture

Direct link

Start with a guided preset, then change advanced settings only when your game or engine requires it.

  • Opaque (BC1): the best starting point for textures without smooth transparency.
  • Alpha (BC3): use for UI, decals, foliage, and soft transparent edges.
  • Lossless Master (RGBA8): an uncompressed editing copy with the largest file size.
  • Mipmaps improve distant rendering but make the texture larger.
Orenvo 5.2 exports standard 2D DDS textures. Advanced cubemaps, texture arrays, volume textures, and newer BC formats are not included in this release.

Remove a background

Direct link

Choose speed or detail, inspect the cutout, and correct only the edges that need help.

  1. 01Open Enhance → Background Removal and add one image or a batch.
  2. 02Choose Standard for speed or High Resolution for hair, products, and fine edges.
  3. 03Choose a Transparent, White, Color, or Blur background.
  4. 04Use Refine, Feather, Edge Shift, or Decontaminate only when the first result needs adjustment.
  5. 05Use Edit Mask for local corrections, then export PNG or WEBP.
The checkerboard in Cutout view makes transparent areas visible, including around white subjects.

Use the preview and mask shortcuts

Direct link

Navigate large images and correct a cutout without leaving the canvas.

  • Mouse wheel: zoom around the pointer. Space + drag: move the zoomed image.
  • + or −: zoom in or out. 0: fit the image to the preview.
  • K: Keep brush. R: Remove brush. [ or ]: change brush size.
  • X: switch between Cutout and Mask. Ctrl + Z: undo the last stroke.
  • Esc: close the mask editor and return to the result.

Upscale an image

Direct link

Match the model to the image, choose the size, and preview before exporting a batch.

  1. 01Open Enhance → Upscaling and add one image or a batch.
  2. 02Choose Photo, Anime, Digital Art, or High Fidelity for the source.
  3. 03Choose 2×, 4×, or 8×, or enter a custom target size while keeping the aspect ratio.
  4. 04Adjust Denoise and Sharpen gently, then choose the output format and quality.
  5. 05Wait for Preparing GPU to finish the first time, then run the job.
  • Auto memory mode is recommended for most PCs.
  • Use a smaller tile only when a large image runs out of graphics memory.
  • The first use can take longer while the model downloads and prepares; later images reuse it.

Use Orenvo from Windows Explorer

Direct link

Save one background-removal profile and one upscaling profile for quick right-click jobs.

  1. 01Open Settings → Explorer and enable the actions you want.
  2. 02Choose the saved background, model, scale, output, and quality settings.
  3. 03Select Apply to Windows after changing the profile.
  4. 04In File Explorer, right-click supported images and choose Orenvo → Remove Background or Upscale.
Explorer AI jobs use your saved profile, work without opening the full workspace, and notify you when finished.

Save repeatable workflows

Direct link

Use presets, naming rules, and Watch mode instead of rebuilding the same job each time.

  • Keep aspect ratio when setting only width, height, or long edge.
  • Use prefixes, replacement names, and numbering for consistent exports.
  • Save combinations you use often as presets.
  • Pro Watch mode can monitor an input folder and process new images with a saved recipe.
  • Use separate Watch input and output folders so finished files are not detected again.

Understand Free and Pro

Direct link

Try the main workflow before deciding whether the one-time Pro upgrade fits your needs.

  • Free includes basic conversion for up to 10 files per batch.
  • Free includes 10 Background Removal uses and 10 Upscaling uses; the counters are separate.
  • Pro is a €24.99 one-time purchase with no monthly subscription.
  • Pro unlocks unlimited batches, all 20 formats, unlimited Background Removal and Upscaling, Smart Compression, Watch mode, and up to 2 personal devices.
The current price and remaining allowances shown inside Orenvo are authoritative.

Troubleshooting

Direct link

Try these quick checks before sending a report.

  • Preparing does not finish: check the internet connection for first-time setup or free-use verification, then retry.
  • An AI model is missing: open Settings → AI & Models and download it again.
  • An Explorer action is missing: open Settings → Explorer and select Apply to Windows again.
  • AI feels slow: close other graphics-heavy apps and confirm hardware acceleration is active in Settings → AI & Models.
  • A large upscale runs out of memory: use a smaller tile or reduce the scale or target size.
  • A transparent result cannot be JPG: choose PNG or WEBP instead.
  • If the problem continues, reproduce it with one image and send a report from Settings → Support.
