BMP vs JPG
.bmp .dib
BMP
A simple Windows format that usually stores pixels without compression. Files are large, but almost any program can read them.
.jpg .jpeg .jfif
JPG
The standard format for photos. It shrinks files by discarding detail the eye is unlikely to notice, which makes it compact but slightly lossy every time it is saved.

BMP to JPG Questions
Are my BMP files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly, so your BMP files never leave your device. Nothing is stored, and the page keeps working even on a slow connection.
Will converting BMP to JPG reduce quality?
JPG is a lossy format, so a little detail is traded for a smaller file. At the default quality of 85 the difference is very hard to see. Move the quality slider up if you need the result to be closer to the original.
Will the JPG file be bigger or smaller?
Much smaller. BMP usually stores pixels without compression, so JPG files are often 90% smaller or more.
Is the BMP to JPG converter free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. Convert up to 50 files per batch, as many times as you like.
