So what's your problem? A picture is a file just like any other so just use File.Copy. Or did you want to convert formats?

OpenFileDialog openFile = new OpenFileDialog(); openFile.Filter = "Image files|*.tif;*.tiff;*.bmp|All files (*.*)|*.*"; if (openFile.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { File.Copy(openFile.FileName, Application.StartupPath +"\\coped.gif"); } -- modified at 15:45 Friday 20th January, 2006

:) and... how to create a folder and save my file to that folder??? In OpenFileDialog, filter, how to display in the textbox "File of type" like: Image File (*.gif;*.jpg;*.bmp) thanks :)

Before saving a file to a particular folder, it is a good practice that you check the folder's existence. Review the following code: string MyFolderDir = "C:\\MyFolder\\"; if(!Directory.Exists(MyFolderDir )) // if your folder does not exist { Directory.Create(MyFolderDir); // create the folder on the specified directory } In the "File of Type" dropdown, you just need to specify the text that would appear and the filter. You can separate them using the "|" character. Like this: openFile.Filter = "Image File (*.gif;*.jpg;*.bmp)|*.gif;*.jpg;*.bmp"; Microsoft KB and other sites such as this have very good articles about File operations. Try exploring.
