Convert .gif images to .bmp images

[Jet]

I want to edit my avatar in paint, but it is a .gif image instead of a .bmp image. How do I change it to a .bmp image?

One of the best file converters for swapping from bmp, jpg, gif, etc. into bmp, jpg, gif, etc. is IRFANVIEW found at http://www.irfanview.com/ This will also convert png to bmp or jpg with ease. You change back and forth between formats by simply choosing the "save as" option.

Not only that, but you can save them in any of the afore mentioned formats as well...

Gee I'm going to have to modify some screen shots in bmp format to... and then try saving them in jpg format for a look. Here's one a month late for halloween. http://img301.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ghouliesqb8.jpg Now let's see a slight twist with http://img176.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ghouliesheriffak6.jpg

It is true that you can do more with that program than you can do in Paint, and that it will probably come out at a higher quality; however, that does not negate the fact that Paint will still be able to convert the images.

Oh well? It would have looked better as a 32bit instead of 24bit bmp file. http://img137.imageshack.us/my.php?image=24bitlogoqo7.png But paint was able to convert one gif file http://img201.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tlogocr4.gif into the 24bit bmp seen at the first link.
