# Functions that convert from integer planar buffers to noninteger planar buffers

Convert planar integer image data to fixed- and floating-point format.

## Topics

### Converting from 8-bit buffers

[`func vImageConvert_8to16Q12(UnsafePointer<vImage_Buffer>, UnsafePointer<vImage_Buffer>, vImage_Flags) -> vImage_Error`](/documentation/Accelerate/vImageConvert_8to16Q12(_:_:_:))

Converts an 8-bit planar buffer to a fixed-point 16-bit planar buffer.

[`func vImageConvert_Planar8toPlanar16F(UnsafePointer<vImage_Buffer>, UnsafePointer<vImage_Buffer>, vImage_Flags) -> vImage_Error`](/documentation/Accelerate/vImageConvert_Planar8toPlanar16F(_:_:_:))

Converts an 8-bit planar buffer to a floating-point 16-bit planar buffer.

[`func vImageConvert_Planar8toPlanarF(UnsafePointer<vImage_Buffer>, UnsafePointer<vImage_Buffer>, Pixel_F, Pixel_F, vImage_Flags) -> vImage_Error`](/documentation/Accelerate/vImageConvert_Planar8toPlanarF(_:_:_:_:_:))

Converts an 8-bit planar buffer to a floating-point 32-bit planar buffer.

### Converting from signed 16-bit-per-channel buffers

[`func vImageConvert_16SToF(UnsafePointer<vImage_Buffer>, UnsafePointer<vImage_Buffer>, Float, Float, vImage_Flags) -> vImage_Error`](/documentation/Accelerate/vImageConvert_16SToF(_:_:_:_:_:))
