dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 When saving screenshots, the default computer setting seems to be to save them as Bitmaps, (BMPs) However if you want to upload them to most hosting sites or even Facebook etc they will usually ONLY accept JPEGs. I do know how to convert the pictures individually but when there are a lot of them it is a long and laborious task. Is there a way of making them automatically save as JPEGs from the start so as to cut out the middle procedure. I cannot find a way of doing it on my PC and even my engineer doesn't know of a way, nor can I seem to find anything in the FS settings menu that may facilitate this. Have any of you guys had similar issues. Thanks , Alan. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Try using "bmp to jpg bulk converter" as a search term. I got more hits than I could read. John 1 Link to post Share on other sites

rosariomanzo 545 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I have an old version of Picasa installed which automatically saves all the BMPs to JPG. But I think it's not downloadable anymore. You can anyway download Irfanview, which I use since years. It has a "batch" function so you'll be able to convert all your files with just one click.

J G 927 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Download the Gimp - It's free. You can use it to make screen captures and save them in any format you want. https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ Link to post Share on other sites
wain 879 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Al if you just right clik your image, edit/open with MSpaint, top left click 'file'....hover over 'save as' and you get to choose file type, click 'jpeg' and a new box opens, give it a name and remember where it saves to, this makes it uploadable at mosts sites and condenses the size of the upload.....I use it all the time and then upload via my onedrive account....

Yes that's correct, I know how to do them individually, but when I want to create a storyboard etc it takes forever. Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,013 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I think you can use Fraps to save as jpg's Alan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
