Why convert BMP to JPG?

BMP files are enormous because they store raw uncompressed pixel data. Converting to JPG typically reduces file size by 90–95%, making images practical for email, web, and storage.

How much smaller will my files be?

A 10 MB BMP photograph typically becomes 300–800 KB as a JPG at 90% quality — that's a 90–97% reduction in file size.

Does conversion lose quality?

JPG is lossy, but at 85–95% quality, the visual difference from the original BMP is negligible for photographs.

Can I convert multiple BMP files?

Yes. Drop or select as many BMP files as you need and they'll all be converted in your browser.

Will my images be uploaded?

No. Processing is entirely local. Your files never leave your device.

BMP (Bitmap) is an old Windows image format that stores pixels with little or no compression. It is simple and reliable but produces very large files, which is why converting to JPG is common for sharing and storage.

Why are BMP files so large?

BMP usually stores every pixel uncompressed, so a single photo can be tens of megabytes. JPG applies efficient lossy compression, often shrinking the same image by 90% or more while keeping it visually sharp.

Is BMP still used today?

Rarely for sharing — it survives mainly in legacy Windows software, some scanners, and technical tools. Converting to JPG makes the image easy to email, upload, and open on any device.

How BMP to JPG conversion works

BMP (Bitmap) stores images uncompressed, resulting in very large file sizes. A single photo can easily be 10–50 MB as a BMP. JPG uses efficient lossy compression to reduce file size by 90–95% while maintaining good visual quality. FileKit decodes the BMP in your browser and re-encodes it as JPG at your chosen quality level. The entire process is local — nothing is uploaded.
