c# convert image formats to jpg

Question

I need to get a picture from the user, with different format extensions, and I want to always save it as \"jpg\", for easy handling. is there a good way do that in c# withou

Answer 1

Windows GDI+ provides the Image class and the Bitmap class for storing images in memory and manipulating images in memory. GDI+ writes images to disk files with the help of image encoders and loads images from disk files with the help of image decoders.

Check Image.Save Method overloads to implement your functionality. which support various image format of type ImageFormat Class.

follow example on Image.Save Method (String, ImageCodecInfo, EncoderParameters), which will let you save Jpg file with encoding etc.

code snippet:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
class Example_SetJPEGQuality
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Bitmap myBitmap;
        ImageCodecInfo myImageCodecInfo;
        Encoder myEncoder;
        EncoderParameter myEncoderParameter;
        EncoderParameters myEncoderParameters;

        // Create a Bitmap object based on a BMP file.
        myBitmap = new Bitmap("Shapes.bmp");

        // Get an ImageCodecInfo object that represents the JPEG codec.
        myImageCodecInfo = GetEncoderInfo("image/jpeg");

        // Create an Encoder object based on the GUID

        // for the Quality parameter category.
        myEncoder = Encoder.Quality;

        // Create an EncoderParameters object.

        // An EncoderParameters object has an array of EncoderParameter

        // objects. In this case, there is only one

        // EncoderParameter object in the array.
        myEncoderParameters = new EncoderParameters(1);

        // Save the bitmap as a JPEG file with quality level 25.
        myEncoderParameter = new EncoderParameter(myEncoder, 25L);
        myEncoderParameters.Param[0] = myEncoderParameter;
        myBitmap.Save("Shapes025.jpg", myImageCodecInfo, myEncoderParameters);

        // Save the bitmap as a JPEG file with quality level 50.
        myEncoderParameter = new EncoderParameter(myEncoder, 50L);
        myEncoderParameters.Param[0] = myEncoderParameter;
        myBitmap.Save("Shapes050.jpg", myImageCodecInfo, myEncoderParameters);

        // Save the bitmap as a JPEG file with quality level 75.
        myEncoderParameter = new EncoderParameter(myEncoder, 75L);
        myEncoderParameters.Param[0] = myEncoderParameter;
        myBitmap.Save("Shapes075.jpg", myImageCodecInfo, myEncoderParameters);
    }

// Codec info

  private static ImageCodecInfo GetEncoderInfo(String mimeType)
        {
            int j;
            ImageCodecInfo[] encoders;
            encoders = ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders();
            for(j = 0; j < encoders.Length; ++j)
            {
                if(encoders[j].MimeType == mimeType)
                    return encoders[j];
            }
            return null;
        }

    }

Hope this help..
