When should you convert JPG to IM?
- When you need it for graphics
- When you need it for photos
- To open your files in apps that prefer IM
- To share IM files more easily
What happens to your file
The JPG is decoded into memory and written back out as IM. Where Pillow's writer rejects the image's colour mode, the converter falls back to ImageMagick rather than failing the job.
Settings this conversion runs with
| Engine | Pillow (Python Imaging Library) |
|---|---|
| Path | Pillow decode → encode |
What changes
- Nothing in the picture is resampled unless you ask for it — resize, crop-to-aspect, and background removal are opt-in, so a plain JPG to IM keeps the original pixel dimensions.
