BMP · multiple files at once
Your files stay in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
If your BMP is a photograph and you just want a small file to send or post, JPG is the most efficient choice. It compresses the uncompressed BMP down to a tiny fraction of its size — perfect for sharing, where a multi-megabyte BMP would be unwieldy.
When to convert BMP to JPG
- The BMP is a photo you want to email or upload.
- Small size matters more than perfect fidelity.
- You don't need transparency.
BMP to JPG or PNG?
For photographs, JPG is far smaller. For graphics, sharp edges or transparency, choose BMP to PNG.
Why the BMP is so big to start with
BMP stores every pixel raw, with no compression at all, which is why even a modest image can run to tens of megabytes. If it's a photo you want to send, JPG is the practical, modern format that brings it back down to a sensible size.

Frequently asked questions
- Why is my BMP so large in the first place?
- BMP is completely uncompressed — every pixel is stored in full — so files are huge by nature. JPG compression is exactly what brings that back down.
- How small will it get?
- Dramatically smaller — JPG compression on an uncompressed BMP often cuts 90% or more.
- Will I lose quality?
- JPG is lossy, but at a high quality setting the difference is invisible for most photos.
- Does it keep transparency?
- JPG has none, so transparent areas become white. Use BMP to PNG if you need to keep them.
