    Hello,
    I'm looking for a program that will convert .ico pictures to .jpg pictures. Does anybody know any programs to fulfill this plan?

    It says that "it's not the right kind of document".

    I believe ULead PhotoImpact will do it. Let me go check. Yes it does the job.

    I just tried it in paint and you can open it as an .ico then save as a .jpg

    You can also find the picture using explore, make sure extensions are shown, then rename it.

    Renaming it won't work for most purposes since renaming it does not change the format of the file.

    Then there's always www.autoimager.com
    It can convert your whole folder in less than a second;)

    Can it convert my wife from being a prude to getting into a threesome?:)

    Hey,
    after the conversion, the .jpg files have a black background. Is there anywhere to make this black background white with Photoshop. I haven't really dabbled with Photoshop too much.

    I will help you with that by PM. AutoImager can also use other colors for the background when replacing transparency...

    IrfanView is the perfect solution. Batch conversion, handles lots of file formats..

    microangelo works well too, but i think its only one of the older versions that will do a straight conversion - the new one converts to bmp first, if i remember correctly
