# Bitmap.Save Method (Stream, IEncoderOptions)
 
Saves the bitmap into specified [Stream](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/8f86tw9e).
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```
Public Sub Save ( _stream As Stream, _options As IEncoderOptions _
)
```
 
```csharp
public void Save(Stream stream,IEncoderOptions options
)
```
 
### Parameters
 
 - stream
     - Type: [System.IO.Stream](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/8f86tw9e)
The target [Stream](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/8f86tw9e).

 - options
     - Type: [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.IEncoderOptions](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Codecs_IEncoderOptions.htm.md)
An object containing encoder settings.
 
## Remarks
  
Using this method is the same as creating appropriate writer derived from [FormatWriter](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Codecs_FormatWriter.htm.md) and running it in synchronous mode.
