like I said for .jpg

Put .gif on the end of the filename but DON'T select gif from the filetype dropdown menu.

You cant do that I dont think. If I do that its does the thing as in the screenshot attached...

o, it works for me, that's the only way I can save images as different types without changing the compression.

Hmm maby it is cause if this, It dont let me check to save as nothing, and put the file type at the end. I hope you get what I mean...

by default it's set to a bitmap image (.bmp) Leaving that saves the image with full quality. Selecting the other options on the list alters the compression/quality according to the filetype, For example, when you save it as .gif, it has like dots on  the image.

When you select something from a list, it doesn't add the .xxx extension. If you do it manually, it'll save with bmp quality but as another type.

If I do it manually, it don't show the picture that I saved. Like I showed on the other page as a screenshot. Why does it do that? Do I have to edit the registry?

aha, I think i remembered somthing. At my school on Windows 2000 computers, it does that. Then when I try to open a .jpg file in the microsoft picture editior on that computer, it says "file format imformation not found in registry."

ummm not true, you will have a bitmap with the jpg extension. it's like: you can rename a txt file to .exe but you won't have an executable =/

although i uploaded a file like that using a .jpg only service and it worked lol

but it is terrible on dial-up internet having good quality.

jren207, the things you're telling are totaly incorrect... I'm sorry... By changing the extension of a file you do NOT change the filetype.... The filetype is still what it was as you first saved it... This is a very bad way of dealing with files!...

Do NOT change the extension yourself!... if you want to save it as GIF select GIF from the menu and put GIF as an extension. Do NOT play with the file-extensions!

Because the service only checks on file extension, not on file content. The file you've uploaded is NOT a jpg...
