    Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are some common questions and answers about tim file conversions ask by our users on RunConvert.com.

    Q: Can I convert images from URLs directly on RunConvert?

    A: Right now, we don’t support direct URL-to-image conversion. You’ll need to download the image first and then upload it to our platform for conversion.

    Q: What do I do if the converted image doesn't look right?

    A: If the converted image looks off, it could be due to incompatible format settings or a high compression rate. Try adjusting the conversion settings or select a different format. If you're still having trouble, contact our support team for assistance!

    Q: Can I convert vector images to raster formats?

    A: Yes, you can convert vector images like SVG to raster formats like PNG or JPEG. This is handy when you want to make a vector image suitable for web use or for sharing on social media.

    Q: Can I convert a photo into a vector file for graphic design?

    A: Yes, RunConvert allows you to convert raster images like photos into vector formats like SVG, EPS, and PDF. However, bear in mind that photos don’t always translate perfectly into vectors, especially if they're very detailed.

    Q: Can I convert a 360-degree photo to another format?

    A: While 360-degree photos are a bit specialized, RunConvert can handle their conversion into other formats like JPG or PNG. However, the interactive features of 360-degree photos (like rotation) may not be preserved in these standard formats.

    Q: How long will it take to convert my images?

    A: Typically, image conversion is super fast! It can take anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes depending on the size and complexity of the image. Larger or more intricate files may take longer, but you’ll always be notified about the status.

    Q: Can I convert a raster image to a vector format?

    A: Yes, RunConvert can convert raster images (like PNG or JPEG) to vector formats (like SVG or EPS). However, keep in mind that while we do our best to preserve quality, the results can vary depending on the complexity of the image.

    Q: What’s the best way to maintain image quality during conversion?

    A: To preserve image quality, select a lossless format like PNG or TIFF for conversions. Avoid formats that compress images too much, like JPEG, if high quality is your priority.

    Q: How do I convert an image to a favicon?

    A: To convert an image into a favicon, just upload your image (usually a square shape) and select ICO or PNG as the output format. Make sure to resize the image to 16x16px or 32x32px for best results.

    Q: Why does my image look different after conversion?

    A: Image formats handle color profiles and resolutions differently. If you're noticing differences, try adjusting the settings, or choose a format that preserves the original quality more faithfully.

    What is TIM (PlayStation Texture Image)?

    TIM is a proprietary image format developed by Sony for the original PlayStation console. It was designed specifically for storing textures used in PlayStation games and applications.

    The format supports various pixel depths including 4-bit and 8-bit indexed color (with color lookup tables/palettes), as well as 15-bit and 24-bit direct color modes, providing flexibility for game developers.

    TIM files include header information, optional color lookup tables (CLUT) for indexed images, and the actual pixel data. They were optimized for the PlayStation's graphics processing unit (GPU) to enable efficient texture mapping.

    How to open TIM?

    TIM files can be opened with specialized PlayStation development tools and texture editors like Tim2View, TIMViewer, and other PlayStation SDK-related utilities.

    Some general-purpose image editors like GIMP with the proper plugins can open TIM files after conversion.

    Emulation-related tools and texture conversion utilities for PlayStation modding communities often provide support for viewing and extracting TIM files.

    TIM is Developed by: Sony Computer Entertainment

    TIM was Released on: 1994 (with the original PlayStation)
