addEventHandler('onClientResourceStart', resourceRoot, function()
  local img = fileOpen('img.jpg')
  local pixels = fileRead(img, fileGetSize(img))
  local pngPixels = dxConvertPixels(pixels, 'png')
  local newImg = fileCreate('img.png')
  fileWrite(newImg, pngPixels)
  fileClose(newImg)
  fileClose(img)
end)
