What version of VB are you using? &nbsp;There is an OCX for VB4 by a company called LeadTools which is about $400.00 which will open and convert about 42 different image formats.<br />
<br />
If you are using VB5.0 I believe atleast GIF is now part of the Picturebox, not sure about JPG though.<br />

I am using VB5.<br />
LeadTools seems to be a bit of an overkill in this situation, and yes it is possible to display a GIF in VB5, but not save.<br />

Convert GIF/Save PictureBox as GIF

Websites use graphics to enhance information, assist navigation, and generally improve the user’s experience. To create those graphics, developers use any number of programs, like the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop and Flash have their own topics), the CorelDraw suite, Xara, Gimp, ACDSee, Serif, ULead and others.

Web Graphics Software

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
