+
+## Overview
+
+This project consists of two main components:
+1. **Image Converter Frontend**: An Angular application for converting images.
+2. **Image Converter Backend**: A .NET 8.0 application that handles the image processing.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Node.js** (for the Angular frontend)
+- **.NET SDK** (for the backend)
+- **Docker** (for containerization)
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Frontend (Angular)
+
+1. **Navigate to the frontend directory**:
+    ```sh
+    cd path/to/frontend
+    ```
+
+2. **Install dependencies**:
+    ```sh
+    npm install
+    ```
+
+3. **Start the development server**:
+    ```sh
+    npm start
+    ```
+
+    The Angular application will be available at `http://localhost:4200`.
+
+### Backend (.NET)
+
+1. **Navigate to the backend directory**:
+    ```sh
+    cd path/to/backend
+    ```
+
+2. **Restore .NET dependencies**:
+    ```sh
+    dotnet restore
+    ```
+
+3. **Build the project**:
+    ```sh
+    dotnet build
+    ```
+
+4. **Run the application**:
+    ```sh
+    dotnet run
+    ```
+
+    The backend API will be available at `http://localhost:5000`.
+
+### Using Docker
+
+1. **Build and run the Docker containers**:
+    ```sh
+    docker-compose up --build
+    ```
+
+    This will build and start both the frontend and backend services.
+
+2. **Access the applications**:
+    - Frontend: `http://localhost:4200`
+    - Backend: `http://localhost:5000`
