AAE to JPG Converter

About This Tool

This tool accepts a source image and its AAE sidecar, parses the embedded edit instructions, and applies them to generate a final JPEG. Conceptually, it treats the AAE as a set of transformation commands (crop, rotate, brightness, contrast, saturation, and simple filters) that are executed in sequence on the pixel data. The result is a portable JPEG suitable for sharing or archiving without requiring the original editing session. Beneficiaries include photographers needing a quick export, mobile editors sharing one finalized image, and QA teams validating edit pipelines. Unique value lies in a deterministic, automated path from sidecar edits to a ready-to-use image, with configurable output quality and color space to match downstream workflows. Core features include pair-wise input validation, a deterministic edit application pipeline, configurable JPEG quality, optional metadata stripping, and color profile handling. Use cases include preserving edit intent when transferring images across devices or platforms, and producing a compatible JPEG when only an AAE sidecar is available alongside the source image.
