1984 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Alrighty. I scanned a whole bunch of old photos of the family and I and put them on my computer, but saved them to bmp files. What I need to do is convert them to jnp because the site I want to put them on does not support bmp files..ARGHGHG! It took a long time to scan them, so I really would rather just convert the files. What is the most simple to use freeware program (if it exists) to do this? Like a drag and click kind of thing. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corona Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I don't know why bmp files were ever invented. They're 5 times the size of equivalent jpegs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 17, 2008 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2008 If you want complaint JPG's that will work and not be deemed broken with things like Home DVD Players that support JPG I wouldn't use IrfanView. Instead give Paint.NET a try, or even the built-in Microsoft Paint. I personally use Paint.NET because you can save the JPG's based upon quality say 95% or 100%, MS Paint doesn't allow this.

TeeJay3800 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 FastStone Image Viewer offers single and batch file conversion. Far better than the extremely basic IrfanView IMO. Dell Latitude D600 Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
