How to save png or gif image in Windows Phone 8 from C# code?

Question

Windows phone

You need to save the image in Windows Phone 8 to the "Saved Pictures" album in gif and png format . When using MediaLibrary().SavePicture , it always saves in jpg format , even when I explicitly substitute the extension.
For example,

new MediaLibrary().SavePicture("name.png", stream);

saves the image name.jpg
How can this problem be solved, and can it be solved at all?
Thank you.

Answer 1

SavePicture only works with JPEGs. For working with PNG and GIF look at third party libraries like ImageTools .

Answer 2

In windows phone 8.1 version, you can save files yourself, for example, through the file picker msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml...
