are a wide range of options around now for conversion - if you’re handy
with a procedural programming language then you can do a lot quickly but
even without that there are still some good solutions. If you’re not
preprocessing then you need to be using an image server like IIPimage which
requires some quite careful tuning on the server side for performance.
