Hello once again everyone.

Hopefully this is an EASY one.

A friend sent me a photo from a cell phone to my cell phone. My carrier is Verizon. I e-mailed the photo from my camera to my Yahoo e-mail account. I RECEIVED the picture and it now resides on my laptop hard drive as an HTML file.

How do I change it to a jpg file so I can upload it to facebook.

Thanks in advance,
MP.One does not simple convert a JPG to HTML, nor the inverse.
The JPG images also has to be on the hard drive nor else it is on a SERVER somewhere.
You can examine the HTML content with notepad and look for a reference to an image.
here is a reference to a image

Does that help any?Maybe I'm not fully understanding your reply. Thanks.

I can view the picture my problem is I want to upload it to facebook and I believe they only take jpg files.If you can view the image on your laptop from the HTML, you should be able to right-click over the image and select "Save Picture as..." you can then save the image itself to a location of your choice such as desktop. You then can sign on to FB and navigate to desktop and post it.

BTW: I have posted JPG, BMP, and PNG image files without any issues on FB, so I know for a fact that those 3 image types are supported.Yes I can right click and save image as, to my location, but when I try to upload the picture from that location to facebook it says not supported.very strange... well there is a easy way to make it work. Open this image up locally. Press Print Screen Key and then open MSPAINT and paste contents there. You will see the image + your desktop etc. Now cut out the image you want from MSPAINT using the paint tools and open a 2nd copy of mspaint and paste the cut image to it. Then save this as Image_Name.bmp or PNG and save to desktop. Now post this to facebook. *PNG and BMP will perform a lossless image copy, while if you chose to save it was a JPG instead your image quality will get trashed.I will give that a shot Dave TYVMThat didnt work so I cheated and took a picture with my digi camera from the screen then uploaded it lol

Thanks all.Very suprised with how much effort you had to GO through to get the picture to facebook. The only images I have ever had an issue with SAVING a copy of or trying to snag a copy of via print screen key and mspaint have been pictures that are protected online. The digital camera snap shot of the monitor would bypass such a protection if that were the case here.
