How to bulk convert PNG to JPG

Post by cutefish.ae »

Hi everyone, I'm a beginer developer who wants to make a tool to convert PNG to JPG and JPG to PNG formats, the reason I want to make these tools is because I want to make it easier for after effects users under the CC2019 version, who get the following error like in bellow
im using windows batch

Can someone teach me, and sorry for bad english 😢

I forgot to say, soo this error is happening if you try to import photo that have an bad footer
i already search how to fix it but it takes a lot of time

according to the method that I have seen on YouTube, photos that cannot be imported into after effects must be edited in mspaint, then you can import it to after effect, but thats takes a lot time for fixing more than one photo

So you have many images that After Effects CC 2019 can not open?

Are you able to upload an example image that Pierre, the developer of xnview software, can examine?

And are you able to summarise the method that can be used in MS Paint to correct the file defect, or identify the defect?

You are using NConvert [now?] but you posted in XnView MP...

You have a space in input\ *.jpg which is probably the reason...
So I try:

Code: Select all

"tools\nconvert" -out png "input\*jpg" *.jpg
and it workssss.
I think the following code should be sufficient:

Code: Select all

"tools\nconvert" -out png "input\*jpg"

I think that NConvert is certainly easier to understand... :D
