You could try using the <a href="http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/index.html" rel="ugc">FreeImage library</a>. It's open source and comes with a VB module which you can use in your project. It also has an impressive range of image conversion functions. <br />

I was hoping to accomplish this without using the FreeImage Library. Are there any VB6 or API techniques that you could recommend?

When creating thumbnail views of images, I have just been using &quot;paintpicture&quot; to resize. This works OK, but I have seen high resolution thumbnails with much more detail in other programs. Is there a way to maximize image detail when reducing the size?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

VB6 Picturebox: how to maximize image resize quality

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.
