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. :D

Try in on this smilie: :P

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)

[Image: image.PNG]

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

[Image: image2.PNG]

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:

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