# Converter.Mode Property HTML5/Flash Uploader ASP.NET
Supported technologies: 
Gets or sets the conversion mode of the thumbnail.
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.ImageUploaderFlash](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/FH_N_Aurigma_ImageUploaderFlash.htm.md)
**Assembly:** Aurigma.ImageUploaderFlash (in Aurigma.ImageUploaderFlash.dll)
## Syntax
```csharp
public string Mode { get; set; }
```
### Property Value
Type: [System..String](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s1wwdcbf)
The conversion mode of the thumbnail.
Default value is **"\*.\*=SourceFile"**.
## Remarks
This property specifies a format string for a desired conversion mode. It consists of `masks=mode` pairs separated by semicolon. Each pair includes a set of file masks separated by comma and a corresponding mode. In general, this string has the following syntax:
`mask11,mask12,...=mode1;mask21,mask22,...=mode2;...`
When HTML5/Flash Uploader prepares the upload request, it parses the conversion mode format string from the beginning to the end and extracts such pairs. For each file selected for upload HTML5/Flash Uploader gives the first pair. If it finds a file mask in this pair which matches the file extension, it applies a corresponding mode. If no appropriate file mask found, HTML5/Flash Uploader checks the next pairs in the same way.
**Note**
If there is no file mask corresponding to the original file extension or appropriate mode HTML5/Flash Uploader does not send this converted file.
This is a list of supported conversion modes:
- **SourceFile**means that the selected file will be uploaded from a user's computer without any changes.
- **Thumbnail**works as follows. If the selected file is image, it will be resized using the parameters listed below and uploaded as JPEG file. Otherwise, a converted file will not be sent.
- **Icon**means that a system icon associated with the selected file will be uploaded.
- **Zip**means that a ZIP archive of the selected file will be uploaded. Not supported in HTML5 Uploader.
