looking for simple APP that puts text into a JPEG

[wfriedwald]

this is for a an a/v presentation being run off VLC (which can play JPEGS but not PDFs etc.)

is there any simple app that will allow me to save text as a JPEG?

something very down & dirty and low-tech? for presentations that I'm doing more or less on the fly.

nothing complicated... like the example below.

thanks!

Take a screen shot cmd+shift+4 and then open in preview and export to .jpg

 

[wfriedwald]

thank you! that does work.

actually, a follow-up question: is there a way to get the CMD+SHIFT+4 command to save to a JPEG instead of a PNG? is there a way to set that in terminal. (I know, all of a sudden this question is getting somewhat technical!)

thank you!

You don't need to make a screenshot. Preview has got all those tools too. Or QuickLook in Finder too.

LibreOffice https://www.libreoffice.org/ can export documents directly as jpeg, pdf or png.

using the Preview app you can "Exeport" a .png file into a jpg type file
