Powerful Format and Image Conversion

With ImageGear, you can convert bitmap images to scalable, editable images in seconds. Customize your applications with a wide array of file formats. Take your images to the printed page, Web sites, video, mobile devices, and virtually everywhere you want to go.

Easy Format Conversions

Transform an image from one format to another with ease. With over 100 image, graphics, and document formats, ImageGear supports raster and vector images, PDF, JPEG2000, BMP, PNG, EPS, PSD, GIF, TIFF, DICOM, CAD and ABIC Check Imaging among many others—backed by the AccuSoft Image Guarantee. We also have comprehensive support for HD Photo, Microsoft’s latest photo imaging format. Easily create batch conversion processes and eliminate compatibility issues before they arise.

Raster Formats

Our imaging SDKs let developers easily convert to and from various raster image formats. Leverage our large library of file format support for your imaing application.

Quickly convert various images into one standard format for consistent viewing
Create dozens of export options for viewing faxes, document management, or image archives
Build applications to convert to and from bitmap images with various bit depths, palettes, compression, and encoding

Vector Formats

Our imaging SDKs provide enhanced reading, writing and rendering of vector images. With our imaging tools developers can:

Read and write DWG and DXF file formats for release versions 16 of AutoCAD, including AutoCAD 2006
Create applications that render 3D wireframe objects. Wireframes are objects that are made up of 3D lines and 3D polylines and are not shaded.
Create applications that render solid 3D objects with adjustable lighting for shading purposes.
Support for reading and writing SVG file format. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML markup language for describing two-dimensional vector graphics in a web page.

PDF

Easily integrate PDF into your imaging applications. ImageGear incorporates the Adobe PDF Library, allowing users to automatically conform to the highest PDF (Portable Document Format) Language Standard. Learn more about about PDF support.

Easily convert scanned pages into PDF searchable text by applying optical character recognition (OCR) methods to the text images and converting them into PDF text elements. The text elements are overlaid over the recognizable words and are not visible. This is similar to the Paper Capture function in Adobe Standard that creates a PDF document that displays the image and also contains text data.

Count on more control of displaying individual CMYK channels and Pantone spot colors in a PDF. The application developer can create applications that control whether just one or more channels are displayed and which Pantone spot colors are displayed from a PDF file.

Quickly add annotations to a PDF document. Annotation marks include text, line, freehand polyline, rectangle, ellipse, polygon, polyline, audio, image, ruler, protractor, encryption, button, hot spot and rich text. This version also includes the ability to import and export these marks to XML files. The application developer has the flexibility to “burn” these annotations into the PDF file as a true Adobe annotation or to save them in a separate file.

JPEG2000

The ImageGear JPEG 2000 Component is based on the wide functionality of the JPEG 2000 Standard. The JPEG 2000 standard addresses areas where current standards fail to produce the best quality or performance. The standard provides capabilities to markets that currently do not use compression, including Internet, color facsimile, printing, scanning (consumer and pre-press), digital photography, remote sensing, mobile, medical imagery, digital libraries/archives and e-commerce. Each application area imposes some requirements that the standard should fulfill.

By taking advantage of new and emerging technologies, the JPEG 2000 standard provides a set of features that is critical to many high-end imaging applications.

JPIP Support

Part 9 of the JPEG 2000 Standard defines new methods to link and deliver image metadata with the image itself. It also describes how to deliver, under user control, the most important pieces of this information first. This allows the image application developer to transmit large image files much faster than previous methods. An example of its application would be a doctor looking at an X-Ray could zoom in on areas of interest (ROI) which could be magnified or delivered at enhanced quality long before the rest of the image.

Our imaging SDKs fully support JPIP, a client-server protocol that is the main component of Part 9 of the JPEG 2000 Standard. JPIP may be implemented on top of HTTP, but is designed with a view to other possible transports. JPIP handles several different formats for the image data returned by the server. These include ordinary image formats such as complete JPEG or JPEG 2000 files and two new types of incremental "stream" that use JPEG 2000's "tiles" and "precincts" to take full advantage of its scalability properties. JPIP also supports both stateless and stateful modes of operation, enabling sophisticated cache-modeling to eliminate the redundant transmission of data.
