Supported MIME Types
- You can upload any filetype to G2
- G2 generates for the following filetypes thumbnails and webviewable and resized images
- imagemagick: gif, jpg, jp2 (jpeg 2000), png, tga, tiff, svg, bmp, pdf, eps, psd, pcd, wmf
- netpbm: jpeg, gif, png, tiff, bmp, pnm,
- gd: gifm jpeg, png, wbmp, xpm, xbm
- ffmpeg: mpeg, asf, avi, mov, wmv (containers), and various codecs (mpeg2, mpeg4 (incl. h264), wmv, quicktime, ... whatever ffmpeg supports)
- dcraw: various raw formats (nikon, canon, ...)
- You can add thumbnail / webviewable image support for any filetype by creating your own G2 module which handles this filetype. All you need is a php function or an external binary (program) which can handle this filetype.
- You can upload separate / custom thumbnail for any filetype. So if G2 can't generate thumbnails for a specific filetype, you can still upload your own thumbnail for the file
- And you can specify default thumbnails for any filetype, if G2 is unable to generate thumbnails for this filetype
- If you need thumbnail generation support for a filetype that is handled by an existing G2 tookit (imagemagick, netpbm, gd, ffmpeg, dcraw), but we don't support it yet, you can file a feature request and we will add support for it
