I notice that your "jpeg" case is actually:

                format = ImageFormat.Jpeg;

I'd try:

            case "image/jpg": // or "image/jpeg" !
                format = ImageFormat.Jpeg;
                break;

Or check what imageToConvert.MimeType() is actually returning.

UPDATE

Is there any other initialisation you need to do to the MemoryStream object?
