About BMP

BMP is Microsoft's original raster format. It stores raw pixel data, usually uncompressed, which makes it simple for old software to read and wildly inefficient to store or send. Scanners, legacy industrial software, and Windows utilities still emit BMP today.

About JPG

JPG applies lossy compression tuned for photographic content, typically producing files 10–50× smaller than the equivalent BMP while looking effectively identical on screen.

Why convert BMP to JPG?

Convert BMP → JPG whenever you need to email, upload, or archive a bitmap. The size reduction is dramatic and nearly every system on earth handles JPG.

What people use it for

  • Shrink huge scanner or screenshot BMPs before emailing them
  • Upload legacy BMP exports to a website or CMS
  • Archive a folder of bitmaps without filling the disk
  • Convert output from old Windows or industrial software
  • Batch-convert an entire BMP export folder (Pro)

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop a .bmp file

    Click the drop zone or drag any BMP file in. Files stay on your device.

  2. 2

    Adjust quality (optional)

    Drag the quality slider. 90%+ is visually indistinguishable from the source; lower values shrink the file further.

  3. 3

    Click Convert to JPG

    The conversion runs in your browser. When it's done, click Download.

Frequently asked questions

Commonly 10–50× smaller. A 1920×1080 uncompressed BMP is about 6 MB; the same image as a quality-90 JPG is usually 200–500 KB.
