Viewing .jpg instead of .png as default?

.jpg instead of .png as default?



User: Michael N. 11 years ago
Hi ... Is there a way I can set .jpg and the default instead of .png?

I do mostly photographic stuff and very little -flat shapes-.
The difference is size between a png and a jpg is about 3 to 1 or more in favor of jpg.

I just converted a 423KB png to a jpeg set to 100% ... final size ... 67KB
:o)

Here are both images:

If you want to have transparency around the border, then you have to use png.

If you change the image to jpg, the background becomes white.

If you want to use the jpg with a border then use a div with the jpg as background.

See it here (I made the png transparent so it blends in the background of the page) :

See the source of the page for the code.

There are other solutions if you care to search for them.

Right ...
But :)
Having a boarder around the jpg has never been an issue for me
because I cut the image with the background in mind.
However, having my pages become three, four or five times
the size because the program has converted all my JPEG to png ... That's nuts ...
I know now, to look for that.
I was just wishing there was a preference setting ... For That :)

If you insert the image using code entry or a widget, the application can't change the format.

This page shows widgets for inserting images...

http://everwebcodebox.com/widgetbox/image/image-widgets.html

This one has widgets with various types of frame, border, and box shadow effects...

http://everwebcodebox.com/widgetbox/frames/image-frames.html

The widget on THIS page will turn a square image round and a rectangular one oval.

All this is done with HTML & CSS. The image file format will not get changed and no other shape images will be added.

Your JPG file has a white background which means if you try and use it on a non-white page background it will still have its own white background.

The PNG will work on any background color since it is transparent.

EverWeb will use PNG for transparent images and JPEGs for images that don't need transparency.

We're working on providing more options for converting images but do not have a release date for this yet.
