# Working with Images
 
Although HTML5/Flash Uploader is intended for uploading files of various types, it also provides some imaging capabilities. In other words, HTML5/Flash Uploader can perform the following image-related tasks:

- display previews
- [resize and recompress images using JPEG algorithm](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/resizing-and-recompressing.htm.md)
- [rotate and crop images](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/rotating-and-cropping-iu.htm.md) (manually and automatically)
- [apply watermarks](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/applying-watermarks-iu.htm.md)
- [handle EXIF and IPTC metadata](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/working-with-exif-and-iptc-metadata-iu.htm.md)

HTML5/Flash Uploader recognizes the following file formats as images:

- JPEG
- TIFF (in Internet Explorer only)
- BMP
- GIF
- PNG
- PSD (in Internet Explorer only)
- WBMP (in Internet Explorer only)

**Note** 
HTML5/Flash Uploader can load files of these formats and display previews for them, however, it can save the image only into the single format - JPEG. So if you create a thumbnail for an image file (say, GIF), or create a rotated version, it will be saved to JPEG format. See more details in the [Uploading Images](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/uploading-images-iuf.htm.md) section.
