How can I convert a WMF (or EMF) file to PNG, GIF or JPEG format for use on my Web page?
You can find links to a number of Windows conversion programs at the Graphics Conversion Software section of the Companion Software Other Helpful Web Sites page. If you have a recent version of Office, you can open metafiles with the Microsoft Office Picture Manager and then save them in the format you want with the File > Export command. Another strategy is to create a Microsoft Word document containing the WMF (or EMF) file(s) and then save it as HTML; this converts metafiles and other graphics files in the document to GIF files. You can also use Metafile Companion from Companion Software to copy the metafile to the clipboard, paste it to Windows Paint and then save it in the desired format. As a rule of thumb, use PNG or GIF for line art, clip art, etc. and use JPEG for continuous-tone images (photographs).
