Convert GBX to JPG

Understanding GBX and JPG file formats

GBX files are primarily associated with the TrackMania game series, where they serve as map or replay files. These files contain game data and are not standard image formats. On the other hand, JPG (or JPEG) is a widely used raster image format known for its efficient compression and compatibility with most devices and software.

Can you convert GBX to JPG?

Direct conversion from GBX to JPG is not straightforward because GBX files do not store image data. However, if your goal is to create a visual representation (such as a screenshot) of a TrackMania map or replay, you can open the GBX file in TrackMania and capture an image, which can then be saved as a JPG.

Best method to convert GBX to JPG

The most effective way to obtain a JPG from a GBX file is to use the TrackMania game client:

1. Open the GBX file in TrackMania.
2. Navigate to the desired view of the map or replay.
3. Take a screenshot using the in-game screenshot function or your operating system's screenshot tool.
4. Save the screenshot as a JPG file. If the screenshot is saved in another format (like PNG), you can use an image editor such as IrfanView or GIMP to convert it to JPG (File → Export As → JPEG).

Recommended software for conversion

• TrackMania (for opening GBX files and capturing screenshots)
• IrfanView (for converting screenshots to JPG)
• GIMP (for advanced image editing and format conversion)

Summary

While you cannot directly convert a GBX file to JPG, you can create a JPG image by capturing a screenshot of the GBX content in TrackMania and saving or converting it to JPG using image editing software.
