Bmp to jpg/png in C#

Question

Is there any way to convert a bmp image to jpg/png without losing the quality in C#? Using Image class we can convert bmp to jpg but the quality of output image is very poor. Can we gain the quality level as good as an image converted to jpg using photoshop with highest quality?

Answer 1

var qualityEncoder = Encoder.Quality; var quality = (long)<desired quality>; var ratio = new EncoderParameter(qualityEncoder, quality ); var codecParams = new EncoderParameters(1); codecParams.Param[0] = ratio; var jpegCodecInfo = <one of the codec infos from ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders() with mime type = "image/jpeg">; bmp.Save(fileName, jpegCodecInfo, codecParams); // Save to JPG
