What is SOFRIQ Convert?

SOFRIQ Convert lets you change images into another supported format. Add images from your device, SOFRIQ Media Library, or an image URL, choose an output format, and convert one file or work through your queue with Convert All. You can download individual results or use Download All to create a ZIP of the converted files available in the queue.

Before You Start

  • Supported image inputs include JPG/JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, AVIF, TIFF, and SVG.
  • Available output formats are JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, AVIF, and TIFF.
  • File-size and batch limits depend on your plan. The Convert page displays your applicable batch limit.
  • Each queue item needs an output format before it can be converted.

Start With Convert

To Start with Convert, Go to Dashboard => App => Convert => New. From there, you can convert one or more images at once based on your plan.

Upload from Your Device

Drag images into the upload area or select Browse Files. Device uploads are added to your Media Library as source images before conversion. This is separate from the setting that controls whether the converted output is saved to Media.

Choose Images from Media

Select SOFRIQ Media to choose images already in your Media Library. Add your selected images to the queue; this does not create another source upload.

Add Images from URLs

Select the URL import option and paste image URLs, one per line. The image is fetched when conversion runs. You can separately choose whether to save the imported original image to Media. This choice does not control whether the converted result is saved.

Choose an Output Format

Use the format selector on each queue item to choose the format for that image. You can choose different output formats for different images. The main format selector can also apply a format to ready items in the queue.

Choose Whether to Save Converted Files

Each Image card has a checkbox labeled Save To Media. Use Save to Media to control what happens to each converted result. It is selected by default for new items, and you can change the setting on an individual queue item.

  • Selected: The converted output is saved to your Media Library and can be downloaded from the queue. It is subject to your available storage. You can download converted files later from history.
  • Not selected: The output is returned to your browser for immediate download, but SOFRIQ does not retain it. You cannot download that output again from conversion history after leaving or refreshing the page.

This setting applies to the converted output, not the source image. For example, a device image that was uploaded to Media remains there even if you do not save its converted result.

Convert One Image

  1. Add an image to the queue.
  2. Choose its output format and Save to Media preference.
  3. Select Convert on that queue item.
  4. When conversion succeeds, select that item’s Download button.

Convert All Images

Select Convert All to process the ready queue items in order. Each image is converted separately, and its status is shown on its queue card. If an item fails, other items can still be processed. You can retry an individual failed item using its Convert button.

Convert All skips items that have already converted successfully. To include more images, add them to the queue and convert the ready items.

Download All ZIP

After at least one item converts successfully, select Download All to download the available converted outputs together in a ZIP file. The ZIP is created in your browser; SOFRIQ does not save the ZIP to its servers or Cloud Storage.

  • Successfully converted and available outputs are added to the ZIP.
  • Failed conversions and outputs that are no longer available are skipped.
  • Duplicate filenames are made unique inside the ZIP.
  • An output that was not saved to Media is available for the ZIP only while its result remains available in the current page.

Clear the Queue

Select Clear All to remove all items from the current conversion queue. This clears the queue; it does not delete source images already stored in your Media Library or converted outputs saved there.

View Conversion History

Conversion history keeps details such as file names, formats, sizes, and conversion status. Outputs saved to Media can be downloaded from history while they remain available. Outputs not saved to Media are not retained and cannot be downloaded again from history.

If Something Goes Wrong

  • No format selected: Choose an output format for each image before converting.
  • File or batch limit reached: Check your plan’s upload and batch limits. Reduce the number or size of images, or review your plan.
  • Conversion failed: Check that the input is a supported image, then retry that item.
  • Some files are missing from the ZIP: Failed or unavailable outputs are skipped. Retry failed conversions or convert the image again if an unsaved result is no longer available.
  • Saved output cannot be downloaded: The file may have been removed from Media or may no longer be available in storage.
