/v1/convert
Submit files to /v1/convert, poll the job endpoint, then download outputs programmatically.
PBM does not support alpha transparency. Transparent HEIF areas must be flattened onto a background color.
Animated, sequence, or multipage inputs need explicit frame/page handling.
Converting HEIF to PBM decodes the source image and writes a PBM output. Use this route when PBM is a better fit for compatibility, file size, editing, or delivery.
Quality behavior depends on PBM compression: uncompressed.
Choose conversion targets based on PBM compression, transparency, animation, metadata, and compatibility requirements.
Known metadata support: Exif, XMP, item properties, thumbnails, derived images.
Supported by ImageMagick, Netpbm, and technical imaging tools.
