# Change the Format of Images

The `ImageFormat` transformation task transforms images in a track into another format. The new output track is named `taskName.Output`, where `taskName` is the name of the transformation task (the input track is not modified).

To change the format of images

1. Create a new configuration to send to Media Server with the `process` action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

2. In the `[Session]` section, add a new task by setting the `EngineN` parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:

       [Session]
       Engine0=Ingest
       ...
       Engine2=KeyframesFormat

3. Create a new configuration section to contain the task settings and set the following parameters:

   `Type` | The transformation engine to use. Set this parameter to `ImageFormat`.
   `Input` | The name of the image track to process.
   `Format` | The output format for the images in the new track.

   For example:

       [KeyframesFormat]
       Type=ImageFormat
       Input=Keyframe.ResultWithSource
       Format=jpg

   For more information about the parameters that you can use to configure this task, refer to the Media Server Reference.

4. Save and close the configuration file. Micro Focus recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the `ConfigDirectory` parameter.
