Submit files to /v1/convert, poll the job endpoint, then download outputs programmatically.
Converting JPG 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, JFIF, XMP, ICC, IPTC.
Supported by ImageMagick, Netpbm, and technical imaging tools.
