Converting bitmap to jpeg/gif
Is this possible? It must be, right? Basically what I wanted to do was change the color of my avatar. So I did this in MS Paint and saved the new image as a bitmap file. How can I convert this to jpeg or gif so I can upload it here?
|
you should be able to open it and then save it as a.jpg or if you have a paintshop or photoshop you can open it in one of those and save it as a .gif
|
Can't do the Save As thing. Only option I have is to save it as a bitmap file.
Don't have paintshop or photoshop either :( |
Hi Averett,
I've just tried and you should be able to go into MS Paint and choose File > Save As... Then from the 'Save As Type:' drop down box, simply choose JPEG or GIF. Save it accordingly and wahay you go... |
you need to clear your cookies and your temporary internet files and then it should give you the option to save it as a .jpg....or you could email it to me and i could convert it for you
|
How does clearing cookies help with MS Paint?
|
all I know is that it works, i dunno how or why, just that it does.
|
Averett, it sounds like you need to download some filters to allow MS Paint to save in the formats you need:
Filters & Advice You can get them from the above link, Good Luck! |
The ONLY option I have is to save as bitmap. Nothing else.
Is there a program online that I could use to convert it? I want to figure out how to do it for future usage too. Clearing cookies didn't help either. Now I'm hungry. And I'm at work and can't download anything! Just to complecate things more ;) |
I've never been able to save anything at all in paint as a jpg
Averett I can convert it real quick for you if you wanna email it to me |
rename file..
*.bmp to *.jpg :P |
IrfanView is freeware without spyware, and a very flexible graphics converter.
|
Can't download it redlemon :(
I've emailed it to myself, so when I get home tonight I'll try out these suggestions. Stupid Nazi's here won't let us download things... |
|
I second the recommendaiton for Irfanview. It is an excellent program, and will allow you to convert files properly. There is more to it than just changing the extension.

hehehhe.
I believe you averett. and I feel bad that you're dealing with IT nazi's who don't allow you to download. but at least you can surf the forums, right? heheh |
Saved the image to my hard drive, opened with MS paint, saved as Jpeg. Easy peasey. Stupid work computer :mad:
|
is your work computer windows XP? Older versions of windows could not save as jpg from paint.
|
I would have to say that likely your version, as spindles said, at work isn't capable of it.
newer versions of paint are pretty useful, although you might still want to check out Irfanview... It is a nice little program that lets you do a lot of quick image edits (dealing with size, file type, etc) |
Yeah my PC at work is older than XP. Windows 2000 pro or something like that. I was hoping for some online thing like www.gifworks.com to do the conversion. Something I didn't have to download ;)
I've downloaded Irfanview as well, it does look pretty useful. Thanks for the help guys :) |
