Convert BMP to JPEG

Get a smaller JPEG from your BMP image

How it works

  1. Upload your BMP

    Select or drag a BMP image up to 50 MB.

  2. Choose quality

    Adjust the JPEG quality slider. Higher quality means larger files but better image clarity.

  3. Download your JPEG

    Get your converted JPEG image instantly.

Why convert BMP to JPEG?

  • JPEG files are dramatically smaller than uncompressed BMP images
  • JPEG is universally supported across all devices and platforms
  • Perfect for sharing photos via email or messaging apps

About BMP to JPEG conversion

BMP (Bitmap) is an uncompressed image format that produces very large files. JPEG uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file size while maintaining acceptable visual quality. Converting BMP to JPEG can reduce file sizes by 90% or more, making images practical to share and store.

When to convert BMP to JPEG

You have BMP images that are too large to email, upload, or store efficiently. JPEG compression can reduce a 10 MB BMP to under 500 KB while keeping the image looking good.

This tool converts your BMP to JPEG at the quality level you choose. A quality of 90 preserves excellent detail, while 80 offers a good balance between size and quality.

Keep in mind that JPEG uses lossy compression, so some detail is lost. For images with text or sharp edges, consider PNG instead. For photos and general images, JPEG is ideal.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my JPEG file be?
Typically 80-95% smaller than the original BMP. A 10 MB BMP might become 200 KB to 1 MB as a JPEG, depending on content and quality settings.
Will I lose image quality?
JPEG uses lossy compression, so there is some quality loss. At quality 90 or higher, the difference is usually imperceptible to the human eye.
What quality setting should I use?
For photos: 85-90 is ideal. For images you need to compress further: 70-80. Below 70, quality degradation becomes noticeable.
Can JPEG handle transparent backgrounds?
No, JPEG does not support transparency. Transparent areas will become white. If you need transparency, convert to PNG instead.
Is my file stored on your servers?
Files are kept only long enough for you to download the result. Everything is automatically deleted within 24 hours. We do not store, share, or analyze your images.
