daveron, 

By using "MS Paint" program in Windows computer, you can change the format of picture. 

1. Open Paint. Paint comes pre-installed on your PC. Press ⊞ Win+S to open the search box and type paint. When you see “Paint” appear in the search results, click on it.

1. 
2. Open your image in Paint. Make sure the image is on your computer. Click the “File” menu and select “Open.” Locate your image and click “OK.”

   
3. Click “File,” then click the arrow next to “Save As.” A list of image types, including JPEG, will appear.

   
4. Click “JPEG.” This will launch a new box which allows you to choose a folder, rename the file, and select a “Save as type.” Navigate to a folder you’ll recall later and make sure “JPEG” is selected as the “Save as type.” 
5. Rename the file if you wish, then click “Save.” Your file has been converted.

Depends on which format the pictures are in now. Converting lossless image formats like TIF to JPG will lose some of the original image data, as it gets compressed. There are ChromeOS apps that allow editing and saving in formats other than JPG so you might want to look into that before changing the pictures on the USB stick.
