How to use Convert BMP to JPG
- 1. Upload the BMP file. Drop or browse for the .bmp bitmap you want to shrink. Its current file size shows so you can compare it against the compressed JPG result afterward.
- 2. Set the Quality (%). Adjust Quality (%) to control how much the JPG encoder compresses the image. Bitmaps are uncompressed, so even a high quality setting typically shrinks the file dramatically.
- 3. Download the JPG file. The tool compresses the bitmap into a standard JPG at the quality you chose. Download the .jpg file, now a fraction of the original bitmap's size.
When to use Convert BMP to JPG
Convert BMP to JPG compresses a bulky, uncompressed bitmap into a much smaller JPG photo. Bitmaps are common output from older software, scanners and screen capture tools, and they rarely need to stay that large once compression is acceptable.
- Shrinking a large scanner output. A flatbed scanner saved a document as scan.bmp at 12 MB; converting it to JPG brings the file down to a fraction of that size for easy sharing.
- Preparing a screen capture for upload. An older screen capture tool exports BMP files by default, which are too large to attach to a support ticket; converting to JPG makes the attachment size reasonable.
- Reducing storage for a folder of bitmap exports. A folder full of BMP exports from legacy software takes up excessive disk space; converting each one to JPG frees up significant storage.
- Making a bitmap web-friendly. A BMP file cannot be efficiently displayed on a webpage due to its size; converting it to JPG produces a properly compressed image suitable for the web.
