JPG is a lossy format. Higher keeps more detail; lower makes a smaller file.

BMP to JPG for bitmaps that are too big

BMP is an old format that stores each pixel with no compression, so even ordinary pictures are huge. Most websites won't accept them, and email can quickly choke on them. This BMP to JPG converter gives you a small, modern file that works everywhere.

You'll keep the same width and height, and in most cases the picture will look just the same. It takes seconds, with nothing to install.

How to convert BMP to JPG

Your original BMP isn't changed. A new JPG file is created for you to save.

  1. 1

    Load a BMP file

    Drop your .bmp on the upload box. Only BMP files are accepted on this page, one per run.

  2. 2

    Set the quality

    The default of 90 looks identical for most pictures. Choose 75 or so for a smaller file.

  3. 3

    Convert to JPG

    Press the button, and your bitmap is compressed in a moment by your own browser.

  4. 4

    Share the result

    Download the JPG and compare its size to the original. Send it, post it or upload it anywhere you like.

How much space you'll save

These are typical figures for photos. Simple graphics can shrink even further.

JPG or PNG for your bitmap?

  • Photos and scans: JPG gives the smallest file with no visible change.
  • Screenshots, diagrams and text: BMP to PNG keeps every edge sharp, and it still saves a lot of space.
  • A website: BMP to WEBP gives you the lightest files.

After converting

If you need to hit an exact upload limit, such as 100 KB on a form, use Compress Image with a target size. If the picture's dimensions are bigger than you need, Resize Image can scale it down. Old scans often benefit from a crop too, since they sometimes include white borders.

Private and free

Your bitmap stays on your device, with no account or watermark. BMP files of up to 250 MB are accepted, and each one takes only seconds.

Frequently asked questions

Drop your BMP on this page, choose a quality and press Convert to JPG. Your browser compresses the image and offers a much smaller file to download.
Usually 90% or more. BMP stores each pixel with no compression, so a 1920 × 1080 image is about 6 MB, compared with roughly 200 to 500 KB as a JPG.
JPG is lossy, but at quality 85 to 90 you won't see a change in photos. Screenshots with small text can show faint marks around the letters; use BMP to PNG for those.
Old versions of Windows Paint saved BMP by default, and scanners, medical devices and industrial machines still produce them. Many old photo collections are stored this way too.
Most phones can, but bitmaps take up a lot of storage, and many apps won't let you attach them. Convert to JPG for an easy file you can share from any device.
This page handles one file per run. Convert a file, download it, and drop in the next one.
