BMP To JPEG Image Converter

Convert BMP Images to JPEG

This tool focuses on one job: converting BMP (bitmap) images into JPEG format.

BMP files are often huge, and many websites or apps don’t accept them. JPEG is the classic choice for photos — much smaller files, easy to upload, and supported everywhere.

Drop your BMP files, convert, and download everything in one go.

Why Convert BMP to JPEG?

JPEG is designed for photographic images.

Converting BMP to JPEG makes sense when:

  • You want smaller files for photos
  • You’re uploading to a site that accepts JPEG but not BMP
  • You’re sharing images through email or messaging (where BMP is annoying)
  • You’re cleaning up old folders and standardizing formats

If your BMP is mostly a photo, JPEG is usually the fastest “make it practical” format.

Choose JPEG When…

JPEG is great for:

  • photos
  • camera exports
  • natural images with gradients and textures
  • images where “tiny file size” matters more than perfect edges

If your BMP is a screenshot or a logo, PNG is usually cleaner.

When to Use PNG Instead

JPEG isn’t ideal for everything.

If your BMP contains:

  • logos
  • icons
  • UI screenshots
  • sharp text
  • flat colors

…you’ll usually get cleaner edges with BMP → PNG instead.

How to Use the Converter

  1. Add BMP images Drag & drop or select one or multiple .bmp files.

  2. Convert to JPEG This variant locks the output to JPEG for a fast, focused workflow.

  3. Download results Save files individually or download all converted images as a ZIP.

No uploads. No accounts. Just conversion.

Important Notes

  • JPEG is lossy. It trades a bit of precision for much smaller files.
  • JPEG has no transparency. Transparent areas will be flattened.
  • Some BMP files may not decode in every browser. Support depends on the BMP type and your browser engine.
  • Metadata is removed. EXIF and similar metadata is typically stripped during conversion.

How This Tool Works

Everything runs entirely in your browser:

  • BMP images are decoded using modern browser graphics APIs.
  • Conversion runs inside Web Workers to keep the UI responsive.
  • Multiple files are processed in parallel for faster batch conversion.
  • Finished JPEG files are bundled locally into a ZIP for easy download.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. This tool is made specifically for BMP input and converts it to JPEG.

JPEG is best for photos. If your BMP is a photo (camera-like image), JPEG usually shrinks it a lot. For logos, icons, or text-heavy graphics, PNG is often a better fit.

JPEG is lossy, meaning it compresses the image to reduce file size. This tool uses a high-quality setting that typically looks great, but the file won’t be bit-for-bit identical to the original.

No. The converter changes only the file format. Width and height stay the same.

JPEG doesn’t support transparency. If your BMP contains transparent pixels and your browser can decode them, they will be flattened onto a solid background in the JPEG output.

BMP decoding depends on your browser and the specific BMP type (some older or uncommon BMP variants may not be supported). If one fails, try a different browser like Chrome/Edge.
