File.php extension format on images

Converting image in PHP extension to JPEG extension.

Hello Lielle!

Your image is not just a matter of extension. Actually any image in any extension (as long as it is a real image) can be viewed to any Photo Editor or image editor. If the file in your hand is a real image file, you can just rename the file into a JPEG extension or you may open the file in Adobe Photoshop and save as JPG to convert the file.

Based on your story, that the file you have is downloaded from your USB drive where the file saved in your USB drive came from the Internet. The author of your source web site might be protected his images posted on his own website.

Maybe he has the script that once his visitor downloaded a picture, the picture link file was changed into a blank file or not an image file. He was doing such tricks to protect his image.

By the way, your question is how can you convert your dot PHP file into a dot JPEG file. My answers are just renaming the file and change its file extension. But I know this is not the solution. It is because your question is not the real issue.

The real issue here is how you can download a protected image on the internet. I’ll give you some ideas how they protect their image.

Some web site owners protecting their image files by disabling the right click button of the mouse through a Java script. We all know that most of the method used to grab images then to right click on the file saves as. By disabling the right click, visitors are prevented to save the image because instead of the pop-up menu will appear a message box appears.

On https://www.flickr.com/ you may encounter some images that cannot be saved instead you download a BLANK.JPG which is not an image file.

Those are the few protections that you are mostly encountered on the internet and there is a lot more methods they do just to protect their images.

Now, here are some of many workarounds for behind those protections.

IF THE RIGHT CLICK IS DISABLED.

Disable executing of Java script in your web browser. Disabling of Java script differs on every web browser; please refer to your browsers help on how to disable Java script in your web browser.

Drag and Drop the image into your Image Editor or directly on the folder opened into your Windows Explorer. Since the right click option is disabled by the Java script embedded on the website, you can drag and drop the image down into your desktop, folder or to your image editor like Adobe Photoshop.

OTHER PROTECTION EVEN IF THE RIGHT CLICK IS DISABLED.

Print Screen. This is the best of my options where no one can block the Print Screen command. Even encrypting of the image can not escape to this method. Unless if the file is hidden or can be viewed only on the approval of the site owner. Print screening the image has been just a very simple method that even Grade 1 can do the trick.

Just navigate the image you want to copy, put the image in the visible area of your web browser using your web browser’s scroll bars, maximize the web browser needed or you may view it in full screen, then hit the Print Screen key. Open your MS Paint or Adobe Photoshop, then paste, crop the image then save. That’s it!
