Convert BMP to JPG
Drop your BMP files below. They are converted on your own device and never sent anywhere.
Convert to JPG when the BMP is a photograph. If it is a screenshot or contains text, convert to PNG instead. It is converted by your own browser here, so the file is never uploaded.

BMP and JPEG, and why you would move between them
BMP stores pixels with essentially no compression at all. A 1920×1080 screenshot saved as BMP is about 6MB; the same image as JPEG is usually under 300KB and looks the same. The format survives mainly because Windows has always produced it and some older software still expects it.
Converting to JPEG is close to pure gain for photographs. For screenshots — which is what most BMPs actually are — PNG is the better destination, because JPEG smears text.
Things that catch people out
- Most BMP files in the wild are screenshots, and JPEG handles text badly. Look at the image before choosing: if you can read words in it, use PNG.
- BMP can store an alpha channel in its 32-bit variant, though few tools write it. Any transparency becomes solid white.
- Some very old BMPs are bottom-up or use unusual bit depths and palettes. Browsers handle the common cases and refuse the exotic ones.

Questions
Should BMP screenshots become JPG or PNG?
PNG. JPEG compression produces visible smearing around text and sharp edges, and on a screenshot it often saves less space than PNG does anyway.
How much smaller will the file get?
Typically 95% or more, because BMP applies almost no compression at all. A 6MB screenshot commonly lands under 300KB.
