Program to convert 100's of Gif to Jpeg?

Question

I have about 200 gifs that need to be converted to either Jpeg or Bmp file. I know I can do this manually via MS paint but I would take a loooong time. I was wondering if there was a program that can convert all Gif files in a folder to Jpeg or bmp automatically. Thank for your help!

Answer 1

I recommend ACD See. It's user friendly and can convert all of your GIFS to JPEGS all at once (depends on how fast your computer is). Just go to www.acdsystems.com/products and you can download a trial version of it. It's fun to use for those who scan their comics and just read them in their computer.

Answer 2

Adobe Photoshop CS has a great tool for automating batch files. You can even download a trial version which is fully functional and will still let you do it.
Steps:
1. open one of the files that you want to convert.
2. under the actions tab on the palettes click on the "Create New Action" icon
3. perform whatever action it is that you want to do to all of your other pics, in your case, save as jpg and then close.
4. press the stop button under the actions list.
5. open all of the photos that you want to convert to jpg
6. go to file > automate > batch
7. choose your action from the drop-down menu
8. choose "opened files" from the source menu.
9. click ok

that should do it. I'm sure there are other programs out there that do this but I'm not familiar with them.

install convert (GPL, runs both on windows & linux. & write a script to do this in a batch file or bash script whch may look like this

Many graphic programs propose batch conversions. Here one example, cmd line using imagemagick:

for i in *.gif; do convert $i `basename $i jpg`; done
