/v1/convert
Submit files to /v1/convert, poll the job endpoint, then download outputs programmatically.
Animated, sequence, or multipage inputs need explicit frame/page handling.
Converting DDS to BMP decodes the source image and writes a BMP output. Use this route when BMP is a better fit for compatibility, file size, editing, or delivery.
Quality behavior depends on BMP compression: uncompressed_or_lossless.
Choose conversion targets based on BMP compression, transparency, animation, metadata, and compatibility requirements.
Known metadata support: texture headers, mipmaps, cube maps, arrays.
Common on Windows and many image editors; poor web delivery choice.
