# Convert Asset

Choose the image format and dimensions used when placing unsupported files.

LinkrUI converts unsupported files into placeable images before placing them. Depending on the application you are using, either all of the files will be converted, or only some of them.

Convert Image is only an option in Microsoft Office, Figma, Adobe Express, and Google Workspace.&#x20;

Some file types cannot be placed directly in these applications. When you select Place, LinkrUI converts the asset first. It then places the converted file.

#### Choose an image format

LinkrUI can convert an asset to PNG or JPEG.

* Select <kbd>JPEG</kbd> to always convert the asset to a JPEG before placing it.
* Select <kbd>PNG</kbd> to always convert the asset to a PNG before placing it.
* Select <kbd>Automatic</kbd> to select the best format for each file type before placing it.

The default format is **Automatic**, which means that the image will be converted to the best option for the selected file type.

#### Choose image dimensions

You can also choose the image dimensions used to convert the asset.

Select <kbd>Thumbnail</kbd>, <kbd>Small</kbd>, <kbd>Medium</kbd>, <kbd>Large</kbd>, or <kbd>Original</kbd>.

| Image dimensions | Size               |
| ---------------- | ------------------ |
| Thumbnail        | 250 x 250 px       |
| Small            | 800 x 800 px       |
| Medium           | 1600 x 1600 px     |
| Large            | 3200 x 3200 px     |
| Original         | Original file size |

The default image dimension is **Medium**.

{% hint style="info" %}
If LinkrUI doesn't know the file size, it will use the Large dimension.

If the user selects <kbd>Medium</kbd>, but the image is smaller than 1600px, LinkrUI will keep the image's dimensions instead of stretching it to fit.
{% endhint %}

#### Change the setting

1. Select the main menu Icon <img src="https://1895738376-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2lt9lcavWcRN7izHUMZE%2Fuploads%2FYrHpQ6HyBGs7kRcfcGP1%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=8b729b97-6619-4fb0-a062-7de507445dd3" alt="" data-size="line"> → <kbd>Preferences</kbd>.
2. Select the format and dimensions under **Convert Image** and **Image Dimensions**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.santacruzsoftware.com/linkrui/preferences/convert-image.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
