CAN I SAVE A GIF FILE TO A JPEG?

[360boy]

Can anyone help?
I have several pictures that client's have sent to me as GIF files.
To load them onto my website, they need to be JPEGs.
Can someone advise me on how to do so?
Thanks.

I am surprised that you need to save them as JPEG's though. GIF's are web compatible files. Unless its a size issue.

Sorry, tried this and it doesn't work for me.
This is how I tried it.
Right click on GIF file.
Click save as paint.
Saves to "my pictures" but as a blank image.

360 I did send you an email after my post detailing the procedure. If you are still stuck email me the gifs I will reformat them for you as a JPEG (FOC) and email them straight back.

I'd use Irfanview. free download and have more options to save in various quality and size.

I'm with r2r - just keep them as GIF.

I have spent some time this afternoon looking into the problem for 360. To be fair to him the GIF images were all blank thats why they would not work. That was the fault of the person sending the images originally not 360's. Obvious assumption for non techy nerds is that the reason they wont work is because they are in the wrong format.

Anyway 360 hope I sorted you out a bit, send me anymore links and I will get them done for you.

For future reference a proper GIF image should work fine on your massive website. 5000+ photos

Thanks for sorting me out James.
You are a top man.

[jamesuk28]

You are welcome.

PS sent you some emails regarding the Ferrari 348 /328 and Forums. They keep bouncing back to me though. Did you get them in the end?

[360boy]

Got them OK James and have sent replies back to you.
Many thanks.
