Converting .bmp files to .gif or .jpg

[leif-p]

What's the easist way to open, convert, and write .bmp files to .gif or .jpg? Any freeware add-ins available?

I just finished researching this topic to death and I found only 1 workable solution. Intel has some code that takes the contents of a PictureBox and saves it as JPEG. Try this link: http://vbaccelerator.com/
Click "vbMedia" (on the left) and select the first article: "Saving VB Pictures to JPEG..."

Everything in the code works perfectly except the JPEG compression settings...they don't appear to do anything!

Good Luck,
