Is there a way to download an image in the format of your choice?

I want to download all my images in gif format. But some of the images i see are in jpeg. I dont want to open paint and then save it as jpg. Thats too long and painful.  So is there a way?

No, all saving as a .jpg would be doing was overwriting the format, it will still be seen as a .gif, and animated and stuff, there's no way to do it I'm afraid, without converting it via. paint or whatever...

If I were you, I would use photoshop, and open them all, then save them individually in one folder, its simple, and doesn't take too much time.

somehow

Just opening photoshop takes a couple seconds of my life.. And i am not speaking of converting gifs to jpeg. Because animation isnt compatable with jpeg. I mean like jpeg to gif or png. Its much more simpler

Why? Keep in mind that GIF images are limited to 256 colors, so many JPEGs will look worse after being converted to GIF.

No... the image on the server is only in one format, and I don't think any browsers support "on-the-fly" converting when saving images. You'll have to convert them after downloading.

umm well you could use the GD lib with php to convert between formats (well loading the old image up in a new image then saving it) then output them as different types , but the GD lib dosn't support animated gifs or things with more than one frame

but you would have to have another webpage asking the people what format they want to download it as.

I dont know wheather this is what you are going on about but wen i save images i type the name i want for them then the extension e.g. untitiled.gif.

Sowi if i'm talkin rubbish

Wtf? how do u do that?

it doesnt work. When u type it like that then it can be

picture.gif.jpg

its just part of the name.  Not the file type

You don't want to convert JPGs to GIFs... you will lose a lot of quality in most cases...

And no, it's not possible directly from the browser without any addon (and I don't know any addon that does it anyway)

O right i delete the orginal extention in the name and usually save them as .png. They are a .png file format because they keep the quality and reduce the bytes needed.

Try in on this smilie:

Here is the .png format (it was orginally a .gif)



Hobbes take ur avatar for example its an .jpeg i have saved it as a .png in a seocnd. (You can give it any extension you want even made up ones)



This shows what you normally see wen u r about 2 save it



This is what i do to save it as a .png (you can save it as a bmp, gif, anything yoy want.)

Here's is your avatar in a .png format:



Hope this helps

Why not just save it in the format it was originally in? You can't lose less quality than that! It's downloaded directly.

That makes scence however, i hate saving things as bitmaps as they take up far too much space.

but if i want a script for my images. I dont want their to be pic1.gif pic2.gif pic3.gif pic4.gif pic5.jpg pic6.gif

Its complicated when there are different file types for the names

Just do what I said before but save them as .gif.

oh wait u were right Thanks dude.

Thanks, i'm just glad i could help.

I found a different way to do it in a big bunch. My web host has cPanel and it has image manager. It can change all the format of every image by itself
