## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## 🖼️ Image Converter — Apify Actor

A **6-in-1** image processing actor that converts, compresses, and exports images at scale.

### Operations

| Operation | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `jpg_to_png` | JPG/JPEG → PNG (lossless) |
| `png_to_jpg` | PNG → JPG (handles transparency) |
| `webp_to_png` | WebP → PNG |
| `jpg_to_webp` | JPG → WebP (smaller files) |
| `any_to_webp` | Any format → WebP |
| `heic_to_jpg` | HEIC/HEIF → JPG (iPhone photos) |
| `to_base64` | Image → Base64 data URI |
| `to_pdf` | Image → PDF document |
| `compress` | Smart compression with target size |

### Input Examples

#### Basic Format Conversion
```json
{
    "operation": "jpg_to_png",
    "imageUrls": [
        "https://example.com/photo1.jpg",
        "https://example.com/photo2.jpg"
    ]
}
````

#### Smart Compression (target 200KB)

```json
{
    "operation": "compress",
    "imageUrls": ["https://example.com/large-photo.jpg"],
    "quality": 85,
    "targetSizeKb": 200,
    "maxWidth": 1920,
    "maxHeight": 1080
}
```

#### Batch WebP Conversion

```json
{
    "operation": "any_to_webp",
    "imageUrls": [
        "https://example.com/banner.png",
        "https://example.com/hero.jpg",
        "https://example.com/thumb.bmp"
    ],
    "quality": 80
}
```

#### Image to PDF

```json
{
    "operation": "to_pdf",
    "imageUrls": ["https://example.com/scan.jpg"],
    "pdfPageSize": "Letter"
}
```

### Output

Each processed image produces a dataset record:

```json
{
    "sourceUrl": "https://example.com/photo.jpg",
    "operation": "compress",
    "inputFilename": "photo.jpg",
    "outputFilename": "photo.jpg",
    "inputSize": 2456789,
    "inputSizeHuman": "2.3 MB",
    "outputSize": 198432,
    "outputSizeHuman": "193.8 KB",
    "sizeReductionPercent": 91.9,
    "kvsKey": "photo_a1b2c3d4.jpg",
    "downloadUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../records/photo_a1b2c3d4.jpg",
    "status": "success"
}
```

Converted files are saved to the **Key-Value Store** for direct download.

### Local Development

```bash
## Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

## Run locally with Apify CLI
apify run --input '{"operation":"compress","imageUrls":["https://picsum.photos/800/600.jpg"],"quality":75}'
```

# Actor input Schema

## `operation` (type: `string`):

Select which conversion to perform.

## `imageUrls` (type: `array`):

List of image URLs to process. Supports JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, GIF, and HEIC.

## `quality` (type: `integer`):

JPEG/WebP quality (1-100). Higher = better quality but larger file. Ignored for PNG output.

## `targetSizeKb` (type: `integer`):

Automatically adjust quality to hit this target size. Only works with JPEG/WebP compression. Leave empty to use fixed quality.

## `maxWidth` (type: `integer`):

Resize image if wider than this value (preserves aspect ratio). Leave empty for no resize.

## `maxHeight` (type: `integer`):

Resize image if taller than this value (preserves aspect ratio). Leave empty for no resize.

## `pdfPageSize` (type: `string`):

Page size when converting to PDF.

## `base64IncludeHeader` (type: `boolean`):

When converting to Base64, include the 'data:image/...;base64,' prefix for direct HTML/CSS embedding.

## `outputToKvs` (type: `boolean`):

Save converted images to the default Key-Value Store for direct download.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Use proxies when downloading images from URLs that may block direct access.

  "operation": "compress",
