"Image conversion" refers to the process of converting an image from one file format to another. This can be done for various reasons, such as ensuring compatibility with specific software applications, reducing file size, or optimizing image quality.
Typical functions of software in the field of image conversion include:
File format conversion: The ability to convert images from one file format to another, such as from JPEG to PNG or from BMP to GIF.
Resize: The ability to change the dimensions of an image, either to shrink or enlarge it while preserving aspect ratios.
Image compression: Reducing the file size of an image by adjusting compression settings, saving space and optimizing loading times.
Color change and adjustment: The ability to change or adjust color profiles to improve color accuracy or achieve certain visual effects.
Batch conversion: The option to convert multiple images simultaneously, saving time and automating the process.
Metadata editing: The ability to edit or remove metadata such as title, description, and tags.
Image editing tools: Some image conversion software also provides basic image editing tools such as cropping, rotating, sharpening, or blurring.
Batch processing support: The ability to convert a large number of images in a batch processing mode, which is particularly useful when dealing with large quantities of images.
