How to convert images in Windows Paint

If you work with images, you most have either gotten a software or use an online software to change image formats, or you most have known how to use what i am about to tell you. Working with pain could be very easy because you do not need any download, meaning even those without internet connections can still have their images converted to other formats using Windows Paint. With Windows pain, you can change several formats to what really desires you.

We are going to be taking a step by step procedure, and by the end of this article you should be able to convert images no matter where you find your self. Another advantage using Windows pain is that; you don't have to install any software either for or to support paint for any of its works. The only problem with Paint is that, you cannot remove or perform too many manipulations on an image.

First before we move, get set your images. Note that Paint is not purposely an image converter, but has that functionality in it.

Get prepared and let me know.

All right we are starting right away.

Right click and image and choose open with. From the site menu choose Paint to open with.

If you have to do any changes to the image then do them before converting them. Make sure the converted image should be edited on its on if you have to anyway. What i mean is, if you had to remove or add something to the image, and you decide to make the changes first then do them before converting the image. If you decide to convert the image before making any changes then fine still, but you have to close the current image running in paint and reopen the converted image so as to be sure of editing the right image.

On the File drop down from the paints menu bar, click Save As. In the dialog box that opens, scroll down the "Save as Type" option and choose the available formats. You should find at least one of the most commonly used types. Type in the file name, choose location to save and click save, you are done. There is something you need to know about saving without choosing a file format to save with. All images edited in Paint are automatically saved as bitmap (."bmp:"did), and cant be used in most cases. For example most social web sites do not accept images saved in that bitmap formats. It’s not a big deal right? You still might not know that your image is converted already, till you have to click and check the image directly where its being saved. Converting in Paint isn’t a big deal, but very simple and could be really useful for those who have no time to download software.

Some of the formats that could be found in Paint converter are.

JPG, JPEG, JFIF, GIF, TIFF, TIF, PNG. These formats are found in Windows XP, but i guess the more you update the more formats you get. I haven’t tried but i think it does works. For those with Windows 7 it should work much better and should give you more and more formats to choose from.
