Note: Some formats depend on your system's installed libraries and configuration

In order to convert images first select one or more images in the browser. Then use either the right mouse button or the Edit menu and select "Convert". You will be presented with the following dialog:

The Convert dialog.

In most cases you will simply be able to select the format you want to convert to and press "OK". If PixiePlus does not know the filename extension for the format you may need to fill it out in the "Filename extension" text input.

The "Show All" button is for advanced users only! This causes PixiePlus to display all the formats it supports, including ones that may not make sense for the images you are converting. It also will allow you to select a specific sub-format for some image types when usually it would select the best one automatically. For example, you'll see 3 different types of "BMP" formats.
