Introduction

We also specialise in file format conversion, for both graphic and text files. For instance, perhaps you have an existing image (in *.BMP bitmap format) that you intend to use on a website. Unfortunately, websites currently support *.GIF and *.JPG formats only. This can be solved by translating the *.BMP file to either of the two supported formats (e.g. *.GIF).

Limitations Top

It should be noted that certain limitations exist within some of the above file formats. For instance, whilst it is possible to convert a full-colour CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format (*.GIF) image to GEM Image format (*.IMG), the resulting picture will lose all colour information.

By the same token, converting a fully-formatted Microsoft Word document to plain text is possible, but all text style settings will be lost (including font selection, bolding, underlining and italicising).

The exact limitations depend on the file formats (and versions thereof) involved. Please contact our sales department for further details.
