🖼️ Image Converter API

🚀 Batch convert images between PNG, JPG, WEBP, AVIF, and SVG. Adjust quality, aspect ratio, and SVG vectorization color. No design software needed.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-04-17

The Image Converter API transforms images between five output formats: JPEG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, and SVG. Upload image URLs, pick a target format, set compression quality and aspect ratio, and the Actor converts everything in one run. SVG output traces raster images into scalable vector graphics, which is ideal for logos and icons.

Designers, developers, e-commerce teams, and content managers use this to skip repetitive manual conversions. Instead of opening each file in Photoshop or running CLI tools, you paste URLs, click Start, and download the results. Batch processing means 50 images take barely longer than one.

📋 What it does

• 🔄 Multi-format output. Convert to JPEG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, or SVG from any common input format.
• 🎨 SVG vectorization. Trace raster images into scalable vector graphics with configurable path color.
• 📏 Aspect ratio control. Crop to 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:2, 21:9, or keep the original proportions.
• 🎚️ Quality levels. Choose lossless, maximum, high, medium, or low compression for each run.
• 📦 Batch processing. Convert multiple images in a single run with consistent settings.

Each output record includes the converted image URL (in the Key-Value Store), original and converted file sizes, output format, and processing time.

💡 Why it matters: Converting images one by one in a graphics editor takes minutes per file. This Actor handles batches with consistent settings in seconds, freeing up your team for actual design work.

⚙️ Input

Example: Convert PNGs to WEBP with high quality.

{
"imageFiles":[
{"url":"https://example.com/photo1.png"},
{"url":"https://example.com/photo2.png"}
],
"outputFormat":"webp",
"quality":"high"
}

Example: Vectorize a logo to SVG with custom color.

{
"imageFiles":[
{"url":"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2021/12/06/13/45/meta-6850393_1280.png"}
],
"outputFormat":"svg",
"svgColor":"#FF5733"
}

⚠️ Good to Know: SVG vectorization works best on logos, icons, and simple graphics. Complex photographs produce large SVG files. For photos, WEBP or AVIF give much better file size reduction.

📊 Output

Each record contains 8+ fields. Download as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.
