Image Formats

The following formats can be selected when exporting assets using a custom image conversion in the Export Images and Documents wizard (here) or when creating an Image Conversion Configuration (here).

For all formats, any non-image asset in the selected folder remains unchanged and is exported as is.

Note: The 'Keep color profile information' option available with some formats (JPEG, WEBP, PNG, and TIFF) can override other selections made in the conversion configuration. If results of the conversion are not as expected, try disabling the selection (which is checked by default).

For more information, refer to Image Conversion Configuration here. Steps Image Size and Color are disabled. No additional wizard settings are required.
Script - Use predefined script	Use a predefined script to convert images. A 'script' is a piece of code that can make a special transformation on an asset. Typically, this is custom development done by Stibo Systems to fulfill customer requirements. Once saved to a specific folder on the application server, a script displays in the dropdown. The script must take three arguments: The contents of the asset The properties of the asset (e.g., MIME type, width, extension etc.) as a property file A file name where the converted images should be generated No additional wizard settings are required.
