# PixelFormatConverter Properties
The [PixelFormatConverter](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_PixelFormatConverter.htm.md) type exposes the following members.
## Properties

| --- | --- | --- |
|  | [BackgroundColor](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_PixelFormatConverter_BackgroundColor.htm.md) | Gets/sets a background color used when alpha channel is flatten. |
|  | [BackgroundEnabled](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_PixelFormatConverter_BackgroundEnabled.htm.md) | Gets/sets value that specifies if it is necessary to use [BackgroundColor](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_PixelFormatConverter_BackgroundColor.htm.md) value to flatten alpha channel when converting from pixel format with alpha to pixel format without it. |
|  | [BuildAdaptivePaletteWithAlpha](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_PixelFormatConverter_BuildAdaptivePaletteWithAlpha.htm.md) | Gets/sets a value which specifies whether the alpha channel should be taken into account when building an adaptive palette. |
