Thread: image format from jpg to png

Hi

I know back in 2009 the file format could not be changed from jpg but do you know if it is possible to change the product image default to .png?

Are you talking about when the pictures are rendered to the screen (like after watermark application) or when they are saved to the server through the interface?

Hi

No I was just talking about product image default. It looks like it an accept jpg, bmp or png. I guess the problem we have now is how to batch convert 22,000 jpg to png with a transparent background!

Yea, their default of JPG is, in my opinion, a very poor choice. However, it is pretty simple to go in to the source code to set it to always output PNG when it is manipulating images.

Any updates on this issue? We sell phone plans and our product images occasionally have prices on them. Jpeg uses lossy compression. Yada yada.

Which file(s) need to be edited to use a different default file extension?

I've made some major modifications to the watermark handler to support transparency utilizing PNG's transparency layer.
