BMP vs JPG

BMP

Uncompressed bitmap format with no quality loss. Stores every pixel individually, resulting in very large file sizes. Common in Windows systems and for lossless image editing.

JPG

Lossy compression optimized for photographs. Much smaller file sizes (often 90%+ reduction from BMP). Ideal for web, email, and storage-constrained environments.

Why Convert BMP to JPG?

Massive Size Reduction

BMP files are uncompressed. A 10MB BMP often becomes under 500KB as JPG.

Web Compatible

JPG is universally supported by all browsers and websites.

Easy Sharing

Smaller files mean faster uploads and easier email attachments.

Save Storage

Store 10x more images in the same disk space.

Quality Settings Explained

90-100%

Highest quality with minimal compression artifacts. Best for archival or professional use.

75-89%

Excellent balance between quality and file size. Recommended for most uses.

50-74%

Noticeable compression but acceptable for web thumbnails and previews.

Below 50%

Heavy compression with visible artifacts. Use only when smallest size is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

BMP (Bitmap) files store image data without any compression. Every single pixel's color information is saved individually. While this preserves perfect quality, it results in very large file sizes. A typical BMP can be 10-50x larger than the same image saved as JPG.

JPG uses lossy compression, so there is technically some quality loss. However, at 85% quality or higher, the difference is virtually imperceptible to the human eye for most photographs. The massive file size reduction (often 90%+) makes this trade-off worthwhile for most uses.

For most purposes, 80-90% quality provides excellent results with significant size savings. Use 95-100% for professional photography or archival purposes. For web thumbnails or when file size is critical, 60-75% usually works well.

Typically, you'll see 90-98% file size reduction when converting BMP to JPG. For example, a 5MB BMP file might become 200-500KB as a JPG at 85% quality. The exact reduction depends on image content and the quality setting you choose.

Yes, each file can be up to 10MB in size, and you can upload up to 10 files at once. Since BMP files can be very large, this limit helps ensure reliable processing. For larger files, consider using desktop software.
