Good to know: BMP to JPG
Differences between the two formats that affect the result.
01
Every JPG save is lossy, so choose a high quality setting for photos you plan to edit again. Transparent areas are filled with white.
02
JPG compression is lossy, so expect a smaller file and a small loss of fine detail. Avoid repeatedly re-saving the same image.
03
Conversions done in your browser drop embedded metadata such as camera details and GPS location. Files converted on our servers keep it, so remove location data first if that matters to you.

What to expect
You download a new JPG file; your BMP file is not changed. Small files never leave your device.
Private by design
Files up to about 30 MB on desktop (15 MB on mobile) are converted inside your browser, so the image is not uploaded. Larger files, low-powered devices, or a browser that cannot produce the format are handled on our servers instead: the file is uploaded over HTTPS and deleted afterwards by an automated cleanup job. See the Privacy Policy for details.

FAQs for BMP to JPG
Common answers so you can keep moving.
What is the difference between BMP and JPG?
BMP is an old, usually uncompressed Windows bitmap format, so files are very large. JPG (JPEG) is a lossy photo format that discards fine detail to keep files small. It has no transparency and no animation.
Will converting BMP to JPG change quality?
Every JPG save is lossy, so choose a high quality setting for photos you plan to edit again. Transparent areas are filled with white.
Is my BMP file uploaded to a server?
Files up to about 30 MB on desktop (15 MB on mobile) are converted inside your browser, so the image is not uploaded. Larger files, low-powered devices, or a browser that cannot produce the format are handled on our servers instead: the file is uploaded over HTTPS and deleted afterwards by an automated cleanup job. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Can I control the output quality?
Where a quality control is shown on the page you can lower it for smaller files or raise it for better detail. Browser conversions default to quality 92 out of 100; server conversions use 90 for JPG and 80 for WebP.
My BMP file will not convert
Make sure the file really is BMP (renaming an extension does not change the format) and that it opens correctly on your device. Password-protected, DRM-protected or corrupted files are rejected. If the file is very large, try again with a smaller one.
The output does not look right
Every JPG save is lossy, so choose a high quality setting for photos you plan to edit again. Transparent areas are filled with white.
The conversion switched to server processing
Files above the in-browser size limit, low-powered devices, and browsers that cannot decode or produce the format are handled on the server automatically. The result is the same format.
