BMP to JPG Converter

Free, with no daily limit. Turn a BMP into a JPG on this device. BMP stores pixels with little or no compression, so a scan or a screenshot is often many times smaller as JPG.

BMP → JPG

Drop images or a folder

Or paste a picture. The file is not uploaded. On an iPhone, Choose photos may hand you a JPEG instead of the original HEIC. This page accepts that too.

Convert to:

Used for JPG and WebP. PNG does not use this slider. 85 is the starting point.

KB

Each file is fitted on its own. JPG and WebP try a lower quality first. PNG is made smaller, because it has no quality step.

How to convert

  1. 1. Add the BMP

    Drop the file. A 24-bit or uncompressed BMP is the usual case. The queue estimates the JPG before you convert.

  2. 2. Choose a quality

    JPG is already selected. 85 is the start. Lower it for a smaller attachment. Raise it if the picture has text you still need to read.

  3. 3. Download the JPG

    One BMP downloads as a JPG. Several become a ZIP. The row shows the real size, which is the number that matters.

Questions

Why is a BMP so large?

A BMP often stores every pixel outright. A 1920 by 1080 image can be several megabytes before any JPG compression. That is the point of converting it.

Which BMP files work?

The ones this browser can decode: common 24-bit and 32-bit Windows BMPs. Unusual old variants can fail. The row says so, and the file is still not uploaded.

Does this upload the BMP?

No. The browser reads and saves it here.

Should a line drawing stay a BMP?

Not usually. If the JPG looks muddy, switch the output to PNG. PNG is the better home for a diagram. JPG is the better home for a photo or a scan.
