This code snippet uses System.Drawing namespace to convert image formats. This simple but effective VB.NET and C# application accepts an image file as input and converts it to a variety of file formats, like GIF, JPG, TIFF, etc.
This application converts a supplied image file into .GIF format. With a simple modification, this application can be extended to a full fledged "image converter."
File ConvertImage.vb
Imports System
Imports System.Drawing
Class ConvertImageFormats
Shared Sub main()
Dim strFileToConvert As String
Console.Write("Image File to Convert :")
strFileToConvert = Console.ReadLine()
'Initialize the bitmap object by supplying the image file path
Dim b As New Bitmap(strFileToConvert)
'Convert the file in GIF format. Also check out other formats like JPG, TIFF.
b.Save(strFileToConvert + ".gif", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif)
Console.Write("Sucessfully Converted to " & strFileToConvert & ".gif")
End Sub
End Class
Check out the relevent C# code to convert the image formats.
Bitmap b;
mybmp Bitmap = new Bitmap("FileName");
b.Save("FileName",System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);
Happy coding!
