Converting Image Files

In most cases, converting file formats is automatic. Simply open your source file and save it with the appropriate file extension.

The obvious exception to the above is saving a single frame from an animation or movie in which case you must choose an image format. Other exceptions are files that require special write codecs; these can be read but must be saved to a supported write format.

Some of the supported formats are listed below.
