Use when the user asks to convert image formats (including camera RAW, HEIC, AVIF, JPEG XL, PSD, PDF), resize photos for marketplaces or social media, apply effects, add a text watermark, write metadata, export icon sizes, build a PDF album, merge PDFs, split a multi-page PDF or TIFF into page images, make a photo slideshow video, or watch a folder.\nallowed-tools: Bash\n---\n\n> **Requires Contenta Converter installed on this Windows PC** (download: https://www.contenta-converter.com/download.php). The commands below run the app's command-line tool on the user's own computer, so they work in Codex and other local agents. In ChatGPT, which cannot run programs on the user's computer, use this skill to choose the right command and give it to the user to run.\n\n\n# Contenta Converter (image processing)\n\nUse the `contenta` CLI (Contenta Converter 9.0.36+, Windows). Default per-user install: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\\Programs\\ContentaConverter\\contenta.exe`, on the user PATH. Check with `contenta --version` (it prints the build id after a `+`).\n\nEvery command accepts `--json` (machine-readable stdout), `--quiet` and `-v`. Inputs are positional; there is no `--input` flag. Relative and absolute paths both work. Check the exit code after each call.\n\n## Commands\n\n```bash\ncontenta convert <input> [options] # one image\ncontenta batch <input-dir> [options] # a folder (not recursive unless --recursive); without -f each file keeps its format\ncontenta info <file> --json # format, width/height, dpi, copyright, creator + full metadata\ncontenta effects --json # 51 effects with parameters\ncontenta formats --json # 102 input / 28 output extensions\ncontenta pdf-album <files>... --output album.pdf [--photos-per-page N] [--page-size A4|Letter|Legal] [--embed-quality 1-100] [--background-image img --background-mode stretch|center|tile]\ncontenta pdf-merge <files>... --output merged.pdf\ncontenta slideshow <files>... --output reel.mp4 [--template T] [--audio music.mp3] [--duration ms] [--ken-burns M]\ncontenta ai-transform <input> --prompt \"...\" [--output path] # needs GEMINI_API_KEY\ncontenta ai-transform <input> --remove-background [--bg-mode white|transparent|custom --bg-color #RRGGBB]\ncontenta watch <dir> --output <dir> --format <fmt> # runs until Ctrl+C\ncontenta profile save|load|validate <file.json>\ncontenta register <email> <key>\ncontenta status # license, clean outputs left, bundled tools\n```\n\n## Main options (convert and batch)\n\n- `-f/--format`: jpg, png, webp, tiff, bmp, gif, jxl, heic, avif, svg, pdf, ico (and the rest of `formats --output`)\n- `-q/--quality` 1-100 (default 90); `--png-compression` 0-9 for PNG\n- `--resize WxH --resize-mode fit|fill|stretch|longest-edge|shortest-edge|fit-with-background|crop-to-aspect`, `--resize-percent N`, `--dont-enlarge`. `fill`, `stretch`, `fit-with-background` and `crop-to-aspect` need both sides; `1920x` or `x1080` works with `fit`, `longest-edge` and `shortest-edge`.\n- `-o/--output <dir>` (default: next to the input); `--overwrite` (default writes a renamed copy); `--filename-pattern`\n- `--effects sepia sharpen` or `--effects \"sepia,sharpen:window=5\"` (spaces or commas); parameters as `name:key=value,key=value`, e.g. `\"colorbrightnesscontrast:brightness=20,contrast=10\"`. Unknown names or parameters exit 2 with the valid list; missing parameters take the app defaults. `flip:direction=horizontal|vertical`, `crop:x=0,y=0,width=800,height=600`. Names and ranges: `contenta effects`.\n- `--watermark \"text\" --watermark-position 0-8 (8 = bottom-right) --watermark-opacity 0-100`\n- Metadata: `--copyright --creator --title --description --keywords \"a,b\" --rights --creator-city --creator-country --creator-email --creator-url --gps \"lat,lon\" --datetime ISO8601`. Kept in WebP, HEIC and AVIF too (as XMP, since they have no IPTC block).\n- Multi-size: `--sizes 16,32,48` or `--sizes 1x,2x,3x --base-size 512`, `--size-preset favicon|appicon|srcset`. Writes one file per size (`logo-16.ico`, `logo-32.ico`, ...), not one multi-resolution ICO.\n- RAW: `--white-balance camera|auto|manual`, `--color-temperature K`, `--denoising`, `--sharpness-boost`, `--color-boost`, `--contrast-boost`\n- batch only: `--include \"*.jpg\"`, `--exclude`, `--recursive`, `-w/--workers N` (default automatic)\n- batch only: `--rename-pattern \"shop_{seq:3}_{w}x{h}\"` renames the outputs with Batch Rename tokens: `{name} {ext} {date} {date:FORMAT} {time} {year} {month} {camera} {make} {lens} {iso} {aperture} {focal} {w} {h} {gps} {seq} {seq:N} {folder}`\n- batch only: `--zip-output [--zip-split-size MB]` also packs the outputs into `contenta-converter-images.zip` (`_part2.zip`... when split; default 25 MB)\n- `--pdf-page N` (0-based) converts only that page of a multi-page PDF or TIFF; without it every page converts\n- `--profile file.json` loads settings saved by `profile save`\n\n## Multi-page PDF and TIFF\n\nA multi-page PDF or TIFF converts every page. To JPG, PNG, WebP and the like you get one file per page (`scan_page001.jpg`, `scan_page002.jpg`, ...); to PDF or TIFF you get one multi-page file. `--pdf-page N` picks one page (0-based). One conversion writes at most 2000 pages (exit 4 and nothing written beyond that; use `--pdf-page`). With `--json` the result lists `outputs` and `pages`; in a `batch` summary `inputs` counts the files given and `total` the outputs written.\n\n```powershell\ncontenta convert scan.tif -f jpg -o .\\pages # scan_page001.jpg, scan_page002.jpg, ...\ncontenta convert scan.tif -f pdf -o .\\pdf # one PDF with every page\ncontenta convert contract.pdf -f png --pdf-page 2 # the third page only\n```\n\n## Windows specifics\n\n- Windows does not expand `*.jpg`, and `contenta` does not either. In PowerShell pass `(Get-ChildItem .\\photos\\*.jpg).FullName`; in Git Bash `./photos/*.jpg` works because bash expands it.\n\n## Platform sizes (use with `--resize-mode fit`)\n\nAmazon 2000x2000 · Etsy 2700x2025 · Shopify 2048x2048 · eBay 1600x1600 · Instagram 1080x1080 · TikTok/Reels 1080x1920 · YouTube thumbnail 1280x720 · Pinterest 1000x1500 · Facebook link 1200x630 · Twitter/X 1600x900 · MLS 1024x768 · website hero 1920x1080. These are common sizes; the platform's current rules win.\n\n## Examples (verified on 9.0.36)\n\n```powershell\ncontenta batch .\\products --output .\\amazon-ready --format jpg --resize 2000x2000 --resize-mode fit\ncontenta convert photo.cr2 --format jpg --quality 92 --output .\\out\ncontenta convert photo.jpg --output .\\proofs --resize 1200x800 --watermark \"(c) Studio\" --watermark-position 8 --watermark-opacity 60\ncontenta convert logo.png --sizes 16,32,48,64 --format ico --output .\\icons\ncontenta pdf-album (Get-ChildItem .\\photos\\*.jpg).FullName --output album.pdf --photos-per-page 6\ncontenta pdf-merge a.pdf b.pdf --output merged.pdf\ncontenta slideshow (Get-ChildItem .\\photos\\*.jpg).FullName --output reel.mp4 --template tiktok --audio music.mp3\ncontenta profile save etsy.json --format jpg --quality 88 --resize 2700x2025 --resize-mode fit\ncontenta batch .\\products --profile etsy.json --output .\\etsy-ready\ncontenta convert photo.jpg --effects blackwhite \"crop:x=100,y=100,width=800,height=600\" --output .\\fx\ncontenta batch .\\products --output .\\upload --format jpg --resize 2000x2000 --resize-mode fit --rename-pattern \"shop_{seq:3}\" --zip-output\ncontenta info photo.jpg --json\n```\n\n## Exit codes\n\n0 success · 1 general error (also a missing required option) · 2 invalid arguments (a bad value for `--format`, `-q`, `--resize`, `--resize-mode`, `--color-space`, `--gps`, `--datetime`, `--pdf-page`, an unknown effect or effect parameter, or no Gemini key) · 3 not used (older versions: trial ended) · 4 conversion failed (also a page the document does not have) · 5 file or folder not found (also an unexpanded `*.jpg`) · 6 bundled tools missing (`contenta status`) · 130 cancelled. With `--json` an error prints `{\"success\":false,\"error\":\"...\",\"exitCode\":N}`.\n\n## Guidelines\n\n- Ask for or confirm the output folder; never overwrite originals unless the user asks (`--overwrite`).\n- For marketplace or social sizes, use the table above with `--resize-mode fit`.\n- `ai-transform` sends the image to Google and bills the user's own Gemini key; confirm before using it. `--prompt` is required unless `--remove-background` is given.\n- Trial: no end date. Every file converts; this computer's first 10 clean outputs (lifetime, plus 10 after the newsletter confirmation in the app) come out without a watermark, then output carries one, including `ai-transform` results. PDF albums, merged PDFs and slideshows are always marked during the trial. `contenta status` shows how many clean outputs are left. Nothing stops working; `contenta register <email> <key>` removes the watermark.\n"
