How do I change photos to a jpeg?

6 years ago

Sometimes pictures that I get sent from a friend's camera, or pictures in an email are in a jfif format, which won't allow us to post here. Only jpegs post.

I tried saving as, or opening with, but neither give me the jpeg options. Any ideas?

Right click get to "save as ", click on it, then where you usually choose where the pic is to be stored there is a drop down arrow on the right, click it..there may be an option fpr jpg. The other way is to take a snip of it. Search 'snipping tool' in your computer...they are all saved as jpgs.

Arcy, the only thing in the drop down is the jfif, which it is currently. That was the first thing I checked for.

I'll try the snipping option.

What email program are you using? Quite a few email programs place limits on the total size of attachments that can accompany a single message. If you are sending a lot of pictures, particularly ones that are right off your digital camera without reducing them in size, you could be easily bumping up against that. Unless the person on the other end actually needs the original size files (like there is a need to do some Photoshop work on them), you can easily reduce the file sizes substantially and they will look just as good displayed on the computer screen at the other end. In my case, I use Hotmail, which has an attachment limit of 10MB total. A typical digital picture I take is usually about 2 MB or so in size, which means that I can only send about 4-5 of these pictures at a time. But I almost always reduce such photos to about 100-150 Kb each, which means that I can attach up to about 80 of them at a time.

Have your daughter send you the photo again as it came straight out of the camera and try to figure out what the resolution is. It will be a large file unless she used a smaller option in her camera menu and depending on what mp camera she used. If it is too large, it might not go through email, depends on just how large. If she took the photo at one of the smaller sizes/low resolution, you are pretty much stuck. If the data isn't there, it just isn't there. Large photos sometimes can't make it through emails, so you either have to post them on a hosting site for download or use Yousendit which is supposed to be pretty reliable. You really don't give us enough info to help you. If you don't have a graphic editor, irfanview is free. http://www.irfanview.com/ Here is a link that might be useful: Link for emailing large photos

You don't have to use photobucket. There are plenty of free sites where you can store your pictures on the internet. Or possibly even your internet provider account (Earthlink, Road Runner, AOL, etc) may provide that service. Once you have your picture saved to the internet somewhere, you provide the link to the picture. For example, the following would post my picture ... <img src="http://www.geocities.com/sno_bunn_y/kitch1-2.jpg"> Which I am currently asking for suggestions on, by the way ! . . . http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0623073132399.html?15 The important thing is to actually link to your picture only. One easy way to get the web address to your picture is to right click on the picture, choose properties, and then copy the web address. For example, <img src="http://a820.g.akamai.net/f/820/822/1d/i.ivillage.com/adsales/images/ivillage_88x31.gif"> would give you ... .

I'm still learning and trying new things but there are definitely things I wouldn't can again and did in the first place because I thought I would use them. I'm going to stick to plain tomatoes, stewed tomatoes (which I love and can't keep on the shelf), green beans, deer meat, Annie's salsa, pickled beets, pickled onions, various jams, kraut, relish, and a few pickles. I like my corn frozen and prefer refrigerator pickles. I like apples and peaches dehydrated, plus canned sauce. I dehydrated various odd things last year and they are still in my freezer. I also forget they were there. My few attempts at canned tomato sauce didn't turn out that great for all the work involved. I may have over-cooked it before processing but I have no desire to try it again when I can blender a can of toms for the sauce. I've already harvested my garlic and it is curing now. Plan to keep some for fresh and roast the rest with olive oil and freeze in cubes. It is very handy that way! I may try to dehydrate some kale chips, I have lots of kale and can't seem to use it up quickly enough. I still want to try some new things, though!

I kind of did it, but it's not just the picture.

I wanted to share some pics of some amazing painting. This one is a water tower

You can always take a screen shot and post that.

Until you figure out how to get them to save with the proper extension, perhaps you could manually change the jfif extension to jpg (or jpeg).

Download free Irfan View. I've used it for years to change my pics to JPG. You can highlight a whole mess of pics and it will convert them all.

What I have been doing in those cases is in the photos click on the picture, in the options select edit, and then just slightly crop it or do any type of edit to the picture. Then save the changes. It will save the new version as a jpg file. It works great on my android phone.

If I understand correctly...

The only difference between a .jfif and a .jpg is the extension. Sort of like a .jpg is the same as a .jpeg.

No conversion is needed. Or desired since you can lose resolution unnecessarily.

On the left is a sample .jfif image. On the right is a copy of the same image with the extension changed to .jpg.

The image on the left is not accepted by the gardenweb uploader. The image on the right is accepted. The only thing changed is the extension.

The .jfif image uploads fine after the extension changed to .jpg:

One easy way is to use the Snipping Tool to capture the image; then go to File, Save As, and at the bottom of the box, click on JPEG.

I'm not sure what the Snipping Tool is -- is that Print Screen? that would be an easy way to do it -- the PrtSc button at the upper right of the keyboard. Paste it into the paint program -- you can actually paste it right into an email if you want to send it to someone.

I use FastStone Image Viewer, which is free, but I donated $15 to them because I like the program so much. I used to use Irfanview, but I like FastStone better. Before that I used ACDSee, and I received a disc for that program with a scanner I bought decades ago. I still use it, but it is a bit out of date compated to FastStone.

Ashampoo Photo Commander is a good free program that allows limited editing of photos, but is good for cropping. Since I have Photoshop, I do not need this program, however.
