Image workflow hub
The image hub is meant to feel complete, not token. Start from a specific format pair, a file-size problem, a print-prep job, or a batch workflow and land in a Picmu route whose defaults, tradeoffs, and internal links all match the job.
Route map
34 routes are grouped by intent so Picmu feels like a clear decision map, not just a grid of cards.

Curated matrix, not fake infinity
The route list expands from useful destination formats and real browser support rather than pretending every theoretical pair deserves a page.Transparency is route-level information
Routes that flatten alpha or move into lossy formats say so directly in the copy and the workstation defaults.Legacy formats stay honest
GIF, TIFF, BMP, and ICO routes exist where they add value, with decode and support limits explained instead of hidden.12 routes

8 routes
Use focused pages when the job is privacy, social layouts, marketplace boxes, watermarks, screenshots, or icon sizes.
Inspect EXIF visibility and export a clean copy locally.
Flatten transparency intentionally before opaque or padded exports.
Resize into feed, story, and preview boxes with honest fit handling.
Prepare product images for square marketplace boxes and visible backgrounds.
Generate practical icon sizes with browser-safe export defaults.
Apply a simple text watermark without turning the route into a bloated editor.
Polish UI and documentation screenshots locally before export.

5 routes
Use supporting guides to choose routes with better context and less guesswork.
Understand transparency loss before you export.
Keep compression deliberate.
Avoid distortion by default.

Benefits
A broad Picmu image hub with deep route coverage for format pairs, resizing, compression, cleanup, print prep, and batch work.
The conversion matrix expands beyond a few popular pairs so BMP, TIFF, GIF, ICO, WebP, AVIF, PNG, and JPG routes can each explain the real tradeoffs.
Compression, resize, crop, upscale, print, cleanup, and batch all keep their own entry points instead of hiding image intent behind tabs.
The hub looks broad because the route coverage is broad. Each route exists only where the workstation or the support model has real value.
Route setup
The hub is built around a curated conversion matrix and practical workflow routes, so coverage grows from real jobs instead of broad marketing claims.
Capability notes
The route list expands from useful destination formats and real browser support rather than pretending every theoretical pair deserves a page.
Routes that flatten alpha or move into lossy formats say so directly in the copy and the workstation defaults.
GIF, TIFF, BMP, and ICO routes exist where they add value, with decode and support limits explained instead of hidden.
Tradeoffs
The matrix is curated around useful destinations rather than every theoretical combination, so the hub stays honest and maintainable.
AVIF and some specialized imports depend on current browser support. The hub keeps those limits visible instead of hiding them in the fine print.
The routes help with compatibility, transparency, and delivery weight, but they do not invent detail or erase the source file's history.
