Image Converter

📷 Image Converter – Transform Your Visual Assets with Unmatched Flexibility

Introduction

In a world where visual content rules, the ability to convert images between formats swiftly and without any loss of quality is essential. Image Converter gives developers, designers and enterprises a single, unified engine that accepts a massive range of source documents – from legacy spreadsheet formats to markup files and even e‑books – and outputs high‑quality raster or vector graphics. Delivered as a lightweight NuGet package (part of the Sheetize ecosystem), the library plugs straight into any .NET 6+ project and runs on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Why a Dedicated Image Converter Matters

Typical image‑conversion tools either support a narrow subset of formats or rely on external binaries that complicate deployment. With Image Converter you get:

• One‑Stop Compatibility: Any of the following can be used as the source – lsx, Xlsb, Xlsm, Xltm, Xlam, Excel97To2003, Excel95, SpreadsheetML, Xlt, Csv, Tsv, SqlScript, Dif, Xml, Epub, Azw3, Html, MHtml, Json.
• Predictable Output: Choose from the industry‑standard image types – Bmp, Png, Jpeg, Gif, Tiff, Svg, Emf.
• Pixel‑Perfect Fidelity: The engine preserves colour depth, DPI, embedded profiles and vector data (when applicable).
• Zero‑Disk Footprint: All conversions work on streams, perfect for cloud‑native or micro‑service scenarios.

These capabilities translate into faster pipelines, fewer third‑party dependencies and consistent visual results across every platform.

Core Features at a Glance

Real‑World Use Cases

1. Marketing Automation (UK retail)

A digital‑marketing team at a high‑street retailer stores campaign assets in Excel sheets (Xlsm) that embed chart images. With Image Converter they render each chart directly to PNG for use in email newsletters, slashing manual export time by 80 %.

2. E‑Learning at a UK University

Course authors produce lesson plans in HTML or MHTML. The platform automatically converts those pages to Svg for crisp, scalable illustrations on any device, while also generating Jpeg thumbnails for quick previews.

3. Legacy Document Archiving (The British Library)

An archival service receives old Epub and Azw3 books that contain scanned page images. Converting them to Tiff preserves archival quality, ensuring long‑term readability and compliance with preservation standards.

4. Data‑Driven Dashboards (FinTech in London)

Analysts export results from SqlScript or Csv files that include spark‑line graphics. Image Converter turns those embedded visuals into Gif or Bmp assets that can be embedded into Power BI dashboards without extra tooling.

Conversion Scenarios That Showcase Flexibility

• Html → Png – Snapshot a full‑page web layout for documentation.
• Epub → Svg – Render each page of an e‑book as a scalable vector for interactive publishing.
• Csv → Gif – Turn a data‑driven heat‑map defined in a CSV file into an animated GIF.
• Xml → Emf – Convert diagram definitions stored as XML into a Windows‑compatible vector format.

Every scenario guarantees that the source can be any of the listed input types, while the target is always one of the high‑quality graphic formats.

Performance Benchmarks

The library scales linearly with core count, making it ideal for both desktop utilities and high‑throughput cloud services.

Getting Started – Simple Integration

1. Add the Package

dotnet add package Sheetize

(The Sheetize package bundles Image Converter as a core component.)

2. Reference the Namespace

using Sheetize;

3. Configure the Converter

var options = new ImageSaveOptions
{
    OutputFormat = OutputFormat.Png
};

4. Run the Conversion

using Sheetize;

var loadOptions = new LoadOptions
{
    InputFile = @"D:\Data.xlsx",
};

var saveOptions = new ImageSaveOptions
{
    OutputFile = @"D:\Report.jpg"
};

ImageConverter.Process(loadOptions, saveOptions);

5. Deploy – Use the stream‑based API in Azure Functions, AWS Lambda or any container‑based service without touching the file system.

Success Stories

“Our publishing pipeline now takes a mixed bag of Excel charts and HTML pages and spits out flawless PNG assets in seconds. Image Converter removed the need for three separate third‑party tools.”
– Mark L., Content Ops Lead, BrightPrint

“The ability to feed CSV‑defined graphics directly into a GIF generator cut our reporting turnaround from days to minutes.”
– Sofia K., Data Engineer, FinTech Labs

“We migrated a legacy e‑book collection to a modern digital archive by converting every page to high‑resolution TIFF. The process was 100 % automated and error‑free.”
– Dr Alan R., Digital Preservation Officer, National Library
