A library for saving JPEG's and VB implemantation can be found at vbAccelerator.
You can search on the internet for libraries for saving to other file formats. Most of them are expensive. You can also create them yourself, but it's hard. See my other post for more info about that.

I wouldn't suggest trying to do it in pure VB.

It's very difficult to do things like this when you're in a pointerless language, since especially for formats like JPG you need to have explicit memory management.

I doubt anyone's ever bothered to implement it in VB, since it's better to do it in something like C. And also, the Intel JPEG library is good enough for most people.

What's so bad about using a DLL?

hi,
nothing is wrong,
its just that the person for whom i am coding wants it in pure vb
Well i found some code
please see it
the code is slow for large bmp's and if an image is larger than picture box, it get clipped.
So can you suggest a way to make it better?
