BMP and JPG explained

BMP prioritizes simple pixel storage; JPG uses lossy compression to make photographs much smaller.

  • JPG does not preserve transparency available in some BMP variants.
  • For screenshots with tiny text, PNG may retain sharper edges than JPG.
03

When JPG is more practical

Convert bulky bitmap files when sharing or storage is the priority.

  • Emailing scans or legacy Windows bitmap images.
  • Uploading BMP content to a website that expects JPG.
  • Reducing disk and transfer size for photo-like images.
04

Match quality to the content

Photos tolerate JPG compression better than diagrams or pixel art.

  • Use a higher setting for scans and text.
  • Consider PNG instead when crisp one-pixel lines are essential.

Local bitmap conversion

The potentially large BMP is processed on your device rather than uploaded.

  • Large dimensions can still exceed mobile browser memory.
  • Remove each result or close the tab when finished on a shared device.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why does BMP to JPG save so much space?

Many BMP files store pixels with little compression, while JPG discards subtle visual data to reduce size.

Is JPG suitable for pixel art?

Usually not. PNG is better for sharp pixel boundaries.

Are the dimensions changed?

No. Conversion keeps the original width and height.
