How to convert BMP to JPG
Add your BMP files
Drag and drop bitmaps anywhere in the box, click to browse, or paste them from your clipboard. Even very large scans are fine because nothing is uploaded.
Pick a quality if you need to
The default quality of 85 keeps photos and scans looking identical while cutting file size massively. The size estimate updates as you move the slider.
Convert and download
Click Convert. Every bitmap is compressed on your own device, then download the JPGs individually or as a ZIP.
BMP to JPG questions, answered
How much smaller will my file get?
BMP stores every pixel uncompressed, so the drop is dramatic: a 20 MB bitmap typically becomes a JPG of one or two megabytes at default quality, and photos often shrink by 95% or more with no visible difference.
Where do BMP files even come from these days?
Mostly from Windows: old versions of Paint, print-screen workflows, scanner software and legacy industrial or medical tools still write BMP. The format works, it is just enormously wasteful to store or send.
Does converting BMP to JPG lose quality?
JPG compresses lossily, so there is a one-time quality trade. At the default setting of 85 the difference is invisible for photos and scans. For screenshots with sharp text, BMP to PNG is the lossless alternative.
Can I email or upload a BMP instead of converting it?
Often not comfortably: many forms reject BMP outright, and mail providers choke on multi-megabyte attachments. JPG uploads everywhere and arrives instantly.
Can I convert several BMP files at once?
Yes. Add a whole folder's worth, convert them in one run, and download everything as a ZIP. Because processing is local, big batches cost you no bandwidth.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser, which also means multi-hundred-megabyte bitmaps convert without any upload wait.
