What program do you guys use to view and convert your screenshots? So far I've been downloading 30-day trials because I really don't want to pay a hefty fee just to convert my WoW screenshots.
If anyone knows of a program that can convert the TGA files I get when taking screenshots that would be great because I want to blog some of them and email them to friends.

Converting TGA screenshotsFollow
I use a program called Xnview. Downloaded it for free a long, long time ago. From where, I can't remember.
Here is a solution that doesn't require a conversion program:
1) hit the PrintScreen button to take the SS
2) open up MSpaint
3) edit--paste
4) save as...(i'd save it as a jpeg because they are nice and small)
Just keep MSpaint open and do that every time you need to take a screenshot.

yeah the only problem with that is that you can only do it one screenshot at a time (I think). But I want to convert a massive amount of screenshots in one go, and that would be really tedious.

It's a great site. I use it whenever I need a program for 1 or 2 things. You can find almost anything you need and most of them are freeware or trials.

thanks ambarius for Xnview, it worked really nicely and it's super fast. Now I'm uploading all 1200 of my screenshots to the internet... ugg this will take a while
ohmikegod- Is this frequently asked question worthy of being included in our Forum FAQ?
Isn't easier change option in WoW to save the screenshots in jpg format? I changed to "jpg high quality" and have no problem working on them.

Okay, I'll bite. IS there an option to allow this?
I thought I'd been over the options often enough and haven't seen anything like this.

My pleasure. I found that program a while ago and have always used it. Never needed upgrading or anything.
If there is a way to save them as jpeg, I've never seen it.

Completely my mystake.. I had sure I saw it, but prob. I was thinking about any other game (maybe Lineage II). There's no way to change to save .jpg. Actualy, I always open with ACDSee, modify, THEN I save as .jpg.
Again, I was wrong, sorry.

I use irfanview to view them, which i got for free on zdnet.com. I can't remember if it will save them as a different format or not, though. I have it installed on my laptop, which is just an expensive paperweight at the moment (fried power supply). If it was working, I could tell you if it does conversions or not, but I know it will at least view them.
Irfanview will do the conversion. It'll even do batch conversions.
