    Resolved [RESOLVED] Saving PictureBox Picture (compress)

    I've taken over a project and added an option to save a graph draw in a Picturebox. The issue I have is that when the files are saved they come out at around 1.5mb which is a little to large for my liking.

    Is there a way to compress / minimise the size of a saved image from a picturebox?

    If you use SavePicture, the picture will be saved with BMP format, you can compress it to JPG. There are libraries to do it, you'll find one of these in vbaccelerator.com and some more in pscode.com.
