#### Quickstart

Convert an image to PNG or JPEG by uploading the source file with the required format.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.eu.apyhub.com/freedailypro/convert-image-to-png-or-jpeg-api/image-convert" \
  -H "apy-token: $APY_TOKEN" \
  -F "file=@/path/to/image" \
  -F "format=png"
```

#### What you'll get back

Returns a binary file (`string` with `format: binary`) containing the converted image data. The response is the image itself, not JSON.

## About

## What it does
Media Converter turns an uploaded image into a PNG or JPEG and returns the converted file as binary output. Send the file, choose the target format, and get back a ready-to-use image for storage, delivery, or further processing.

Use `format` to select `png` or `jpeg`. When you convert to JPEG, you can also set `quality` from 0 to 1 to control compression, and optionally provide `backgroundColor` to fill transparent areas such as `#ffffff`. The input image accepts files up to 15 MB.

Use Media Converter when you need to standardize uploads before saving them, prepare assets for a web workflow, or re-encode images for systems that only accept a specific format. It is useful in pipelines that receive mixed image types and need one consistent output.

The response is a binary file, so you can store it directly, pass it to another service, or attach it to a download response without extra parsing.
