# Image formats

The particular set of Image formats that you can use can depend on the version of the underlying encoding tools that Transloadit uses for the following Robots:

* [🤖/document/thumbs](/docs/robots/document-thumbs.md)
* [🤖/image/resize](/docs/robots/image-resize.md)

Transloadit recommends having: `ffmpeg_stack: "v3.0.1"` in these Robots’ Assembly Instructions. We are intimately aware of how important continuity is for our customers, so stack version upgrades are always opt-in. Stack versions are typically supported for many years before we start issuing deprecation warnings (for example, we had been supporting `"v1.0.0"` for 11 years before we deprecated it).
