Free BMP to JPG converter

Why convert BMP to JPG?

People convert BMP to JPG because BMP stores every pixel uncompressed, so the files are enormous for what they actually contain, while JPG opens on essentially every device built in the last thirty years.

How to convert BMP to JPG

1. Choose your BMP file. Drop it on the box above, or tap to browse. You can pick several files at once.
2. Confirm the target is .jpg. It is preselected when your browser can encode it; otherwise the closest available target is chosen. Adjust quality, size or the other options if you want to.
3. Convert and download. Press Convert, then Download. Your file stays on your device the whole time.

What is a .bmp file?

BMP stores pixels uncompressed, which makes files very large and very simple. It survives from early Windows and still appears in older software and some hardware exports; almost any modern format will store the same picture in a fraction of the space.

What is a .jpg file?

JPG (also written JPEG) is the universal photograph format — small files that open on every device made in the last twenty-five years. It is lossy, discarding detail the eye is least likely to miss, which makes it excellent for photos and poor for screenshots, logos and text, where it leaves visible smudging.

What to expect from this conversion

The image is decoded and re-encoded, so keep the quality slider at 85% or above — at that setting the difference is invisible to the eye. Transparency is flattened onto white for formats that cannot store it, such as JPG. JPG has no transparency, so any transparent area is flattened onto white.

Is it private?

Yes, by design. Every conversion happens inside your own browser using your device’s processor — there is no server that receives your BMP file, so there is nothing for anyone to store, scan or leak. You can confirm it yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, watch the Network tab while you convert, and you will see no upload.
