BMP to JPEG Conversion

BMP (Bitmap) is an uncompressed raster image format. It stores color data for every pixel without any compression, resulting in very large file sizes. While it offers high quality, its large size makes it impractical for web use.

JPEG files use lossy compression, which means they sacrifice some image quality to achieve smaller file sizes. Every time you edit and save a JPEG, it loses a bit more quality. JPEGs also don't support transparency, so every pixel must have a color value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should you convert BMP to JPEG?

BMP's complete lack of compression creates absurdly large files - a simple smartphone photo becomes 20-60MB as BMP instead of 2-5MB as JPEG. This makes BMP files impossible to email (most services limit attachments to 25MB), slow to load on websites (terrible user experience), and wasteful for storage (hundreds of photos fill up hard drives quickly). Converting BMP to JPEG applies efficient lossy compression reducing file sizes by 95-98% while maintaining excellent visual quality for photographic content. A 40MB BMP becomes 1-2MB as JPEG with minimal perceptible quality difference to human eyes. JPEG is universally compatible everywhere - email clients, social media, photo viewers, smartphones, printing services - making your photos actually shareable and usable. Essential for rescuing photos saved as BMP, web publishing, email sharing, social media uploads, or any scenario requiring practical file sizes. Note: JPEG loses transparency if present - transparent areas become solid backgrounds.
