Variable: image-converter

image-converter is a customizable variable defined in image-converter.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

Type of the external image converter to use.

The value should a symbol, either imagemagick, graphicsmagick, or ffmpeg.

If nil, Emacs will try to find one of the supported converters installed on the system.

The actual range of image formats that will be converted depends on the image formats which the chosen converter is able to handle. auto-mode-alist is then used to further filter the formats that are to be supported: only the suffixes that map to image-mode will be handled.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 27.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 28.1.
