About this tool

What is a BMP to JPG converter?

A BMP to JPG converter changes an uncompressed bitmap image into a compressed JPEG. BMP files can be very large, while JPG is more practical for sharing and web publishing.

How BMP files are compressed into JPG

The browser decodes the bitmap, draws the image onto a canvas, and exports a JPEG version with a smaller file footprint. The conversion creates a new file so your original BMP remains available.
