Anyone know an easier way

[RPG Learner]

To covert multiple GIF files to PNG besides going on MS paint and doing it one by one it's gets tiring after a while.

Are there any good ways to do it. I have Photoshop essentials 3.0 but i do not know how to use it yet.

I might be thinking of something completely different but isn't just as simple as changing the .gif ending to .png?

You'll basically currupt the file this way, and won't be able to open it until you give it the orgional ending. I would try and DL a program called GIMP. It's a free graphics program that will allow you to mess with PNG's and GIFS. That or rack out the money to buy Painter, 'cause Adobe doesn't do well with PNG's(this includes your Photoshop essentials.) Unfortunately, there is no real way to convert several files at once, you'll have to go through and do them one at a time. Sorreh. That or do a google search, and you might find some program, but I'd use caution.

Yeah there is no batch image change program I know of. A program you might want to look into is Vallen Jpegger (http://www.vallen.de/freeware/). You can't do any actual editing of the image besides the size in it, but it will allow you to convert almost any format image to any other format, and it supports pngs very well (the best part being it's freeware). I'm sure there are some keyboard shortcuts you could use to expediate the process. If you ever want to just change the extensions on a bunch of files I wrote a program in Java that can do that for you, but changing an image from .gif to .png will not work as they use different encoding schemes.

Freeware!

I use a bulk image resizer called Pixresizer.

It also changes formats in the process and has a 100% size option.

That should do it!
