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.

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.

are u sure that there is no technology that can do this? Maybe save the image in a temp folder and then it converts it and sends the converted file to desktop. I dont think this is so hard to do, maybe it could be a firefox plugin when u click right click on an image and it says save as .gif
