hi hope everyone doing fine Can anyone tell me where i can find a FREE image converter, which can convert image formats like png, jpeg, gif, bmp etc into one another bye

Try downloading Paintshop Pro. You can find a free trial of it
at http://www.jasc.com/products/?

Other than that, most decent paint programs can save all the
common formats.

I like this one:

Free, small, fast.

A little off-topic, maybe - but a good suggestion nevertheless IMHO:

The .net framework (SDK of which is free) contains fairly advanced imaging classes, which can read and write almost all of the common graphics formats, while needing just a few lines of code to work.

If you know how to program at all, you can easily make your own converter with .net, and as a bonus, you get exactly the functionality you want!

Further, if you want to incorporate a new format to the converter, just implement the generic encoder/decoder class for that format.

I''m not sure what other formats you want, but all the formats you named can be converted with the version of pbrush/PaintBrush/Paint in WindowsXP. The versions paint brush supports varies depending on your windows version but you might want to give it a try...

Oh, and GIMP would work for both Windows and Linux and it''s free.

hello
yes i know that conversion can be done using paintBrush, photo editor, but wht i want to know is that how can i do it efficiently, The OPTIMAL CONVERSION, if i do it through photoEditor it increases the size, i found one which does the optimal conversion but it is a DOS based prog, i want to have a windows based image converter
thanks to all who replied, and welcome to those who want to reply
Bye

Take a look at ImageMagick or Netpbm. Since you seem to find it important: ImageMagick has GUIs under at least some platforms (X11 and OS X, not sure about Windows); I have no idea if Netpbm has a GUI available.
