How to convert BMP to JPG
- Drag your BMP files into the box above or click “Choose files” (folders and pasting from the clipboard work too).
- JPG is preselected as the output format; adjust quality, size and target file size if you like.
- Press “Start converting”; files are converted in your browser, in parallel.
- Download the files one by one or grab them all as a ZIP.
Why convert BMP to JPG?
JPG makes photographs much smaller and opens everywhere. It is the most practical choice for staying under the upload limits of forms, email and online shops.
BMP files are uncompressed, so converting usually shrinks them dramatically.
BMP vs JPG
| BMP | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| File extension | .bmp | .jpg / .jpeg |
| Compression | Uncompressed | Lossy |
| Transparency | No | No |
| Animation | No | No |
| Typical file size | Very large | Small |
| Support | Windows and most software | Everywhere |
| Best for | compatibility with legacy software, uncompressed raw pixels | photographs, e-commerce product shots, email attachments |
BMP is the native Windows bitmap format and usually uses no compression. JPG (JPEG) is the most widely used image format, built for photographs and based on lossy compression. It has no transparency; quality drops with each re-save, and sharp-edged graphics can show blur or ringing.
Tips for the best results
- For most photos a quality of 80–85 is visually indistinguishable while making the file much smaller. If you have a size limit, use the “Target file size” option.
- For the web, limiting the width to 1600 pixels cuts file size a lot while keeping visual quality (Resize section).
- Metadata such as GPS location and camera details (EXIF) is always removed from the output.
Privacy and security
Conversion runs entirely in your browser (using WebAssembly); your images are never uploaded to our server and never leave your device. The server only receives anonymous counters that contain no file names or content (source/target format, size, duration). Metadata such as location and camera details is always stripped from the output.
