What file formats do you support?

We support over 100 file formats including images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT), videos (MP4, AVI, MOV), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC), and many more specialized formats.

Yes, absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all file transfers. Your files are automatically deleted from our servers after conversion, and we never store or access your personal data.

What is the maximum file size?

The maximum file size for free users is 100MB per file. Premium users can convert files up to 1GB. For larger files, we recommend our batch processing feature.

How long does conversion take?

Most files convert in under 30 seconds. The exact time depends on file size and format complexity. Our advanced algorithms ensure the fastest possible conversion while maintaining quality.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes! Our batch processing feature allows you to upload and convert up to 50 files simultaneously. This is perfect for bulk conversions and saves significant time.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required for basic conversions. However, creating a free account gives you access to batch processing, file history, and priority support.

Why Choose Our Converter?

Convert high-fidelity MAP images to IEEE PGX for archival, editing, or device distribution with predictable output characteristics.

Fast MAP to PGX

Browser-based conversion optimized for single-file workflows and modest batches without external uploads.

High-Fidelity Output

PGX output retains original MAP raster detail and expands compression into a predictable pixel stream.

Wide Editor Support

Produce PGX files readable by professional image tools and archival pipelines that accept raw wavelet streams.

Local Processing

All conversion happens client-side in memory to minimize file exposure and preserve privacy.

Batch-Ready

Handle multi-file MAP sets efficiently; recommended grouping prevents memory spikes.

Adjustable Outputs

Choose bit-depth mapping and basic color handling to align PGX with downstream workflows.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare MAP Sources

Flatten visibility-only layers in MAP before conversion to control final compositing
Export MAPs with embedded ICC profiles when color-critical to increase chance of profile carryover
Consolidate MAP multi-page or sequence data into discrete files if you require individual PGX outputs
Confirm MAP alpha channel semantics (premultiplied vs straight) to ensure correct PGX alpha mapping
Trim unnecessary editor-specific metadata in MAP to reduce mismatch with PGX header fields

Target PGX Encoding

Select PGX sample depth that matches MAP native bit depth to avoid quantization loss
When MAP contains lossy wavelet artifacts, prefer lossless PGX export to avoid further compression errors
If color conversion is necessary, perform ICC transform during export rather than post-export editing
Map MAP alpha to PGX extra channel explicitly to preserve transparency for downstream compositing
Use per-file settings for scientific MAP captures to preserve numeric precision in PGX outputs

Workflow and Software

Open PGX in editors that explicitly support IEEE PGX to validate sample alignment and bit depth
Use image analysis tools to compare MAP and PGX histograms to spot unintended dynamic range shifts
In batch workflows, keep original MAP archives; PGX serves as an interchange, not a source-of-record
Integrate PGX into pipelines that require raw sample access, such as measurement or printing toolchains
Test a representative MAP sample in your target software before converting large sets to PGX

Verify Metadata & Privacy

Check whether your MAP variant stores EXIF/XMP inlined; those fields may not round-trip into PGX reliably
If metadata preservation is critical, export MAP metadata to a sidecar and pair it with the PGX files
Process sensitive MAP imagery in-memory only to maintain local privacy and avoid cloud transfers
Confirm that PGX readers used in your organization read any embedded ICC tags as expected
Schedule batch conversions when system memory is ample to prevent partial writes or corrupted PGX files

Fast Processing

Close unused tabs for maximum throughput.

Client-Side Privacy

No media leaves your device.

Broad Compatibility

Output files work across all operating systems.

Pro Tip

For batch conversions, process in groups of 20-50 files to optimize memory usage and avoid browser slowdowns.
