making gimp save in png/jpeg/gif and not xcf file

iam new to gimp, was wondering do i need a plug in to choose option for gimp to not keep saving in xcf file which is not recognized by image hosts like photobucket, imageshack. need to clear this issue up.

save image

you don't need any plug-ins for that. just go in the file menu -> save as.. and at the bottom of the window you choose your file type

ah i see that thx

You shouldn't set the file

You shouldn't set the file type with the dropdown. Just type the file name, the file extension decides about the format.

thx!

thx!
