Can bitmap object be save as PNG or JPEG file format

Question

Is C# bitmap supporting saving the object to JPEG or PNG file format?

Answer 1

Bitmap extends Image, therefore you can call: Image.Save (String, ImageFormat). For example:

using System.Drawing // ...  Bitmap img = new Bitmap("file.jpg"); img.Save("file.png", ImageFormat.Png); // ImageFormat.Jpeg, etc 

Omitting the second argument and just calling Image.Save(String) will save the image as its raw format.

Answer 2

In addition to last post (can't comment existing post since i'm new here)

File type is NOT based off of the extension. Just try to do img.Save("result.bmp") and Image.Save("result.bmp", ImageFormat.Bmp);

and you'll see that file sizes are dramatically different.
