Can anyone please tell me how to change a photo i have on my computer to a format that will upload to photobucket/forums, it needs to be a jpeg or gif?
It is not a digital photo.

If it is not a digital photo than that means you have to scan it in.

If it is on the computer that means it is a digital photo and you should be able to open it and go File>Save As..., and then in the drop down menu select jpg or gif and click Save! At least that's how I do it on my Mac :smile: I don't see why that wouldn't work on PC
 
Open it in MS Paint, go to File>Save as... and there will be a drop down menu where you should be able to select jpeg or gif among other options.

Edit- beaten to it!
