This page offers a non-exhaustive list of the supported formats, along with an explanation of how each is processed within the platform. File names uploaded to the system may include any characters supported by the locale encoding, except for the following special characters: \ / * ? | ! " # $ % & : ; < = > ? @. If a file name contains any of these characters, they will automatically be replaced with underscores ("_") to ensure compatibility and prevent processing issues. ## Image Formats --- The file types listed below are the image formats supported by Encodify. | File Type | File Extension | Supported Conversions | Preview (Original) | Preview (Converted) | Preview (Proofing) | Extract XMP | Write XMP | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Joint Photographic Experts Group | JPG | -
