ImageIO is unable to write buffered image to file

Question

I am having some problem in writing bufferedimage to jpg file. in my method , i am getting a bufferedimage as parameter which i need to write in a file-

here is what i am doing :

public boolean writeToFile(BufferedImage buff,String savePath) {

        try {

            System.out.println(buff.toString());
            ImageIO.write(buff, ".jpg", new File(savePath));
            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } 
   }

here is what gets printed by buff.toString() :

BufferedImage@8046f4: type = 1 DirectColorModel: rmask=ff0000 gmask=ff00 bmask=ff amask=0 IntegerInterleavedRaster: width = 1024 height = 172 #Bands = 3 xOff = 0 yOff = 0 dataOffset[0] 0

program runs fine without any exception, but the generated jpg file size is 0 bytes

i tried writing image without using ImageIO :

public boolean writeToFile(BufferedImage buff,String savePath) {



        try {

            System.out.println("got image : " + buff.toString());
            Iterator iter = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("jpeg");
            ImageWriter writer = (ImageWriter)iter.next();
            ImageWriteParam iwp = writer.getDefaultWriteParam();


            iwp.setCompressionMode(ImageWriteParam.MODE_EXPLICIT);
            iwp.setCompressionQuality(.5f); 


            File file = new File(savePath);
            FileImageOutputStream output = new FileImageOutputStream(file);
            writer.setOutput(output);
            IIOImage image = new IIOImage(buff, null, null);
            writer.write(null, image, iwp);
            writer.dispose();

            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return false;
    }

And this works absolutely fine.

Why it is not working with ImageIO ?

Answer 1

Remove the . from your format name.

ImageIO.write(buff, "jpg", new File(savePath));

Answer 2

Believe it or not, it's just this ".jpg", change it to "jpg" and it will work fine.

I had the same issue, but I looked at the ImageIO, and found this link.
