About BMP to JPEG conversion

BMP is introduced by Microsoft in 1987 with Windows 2.0 and is the classic Windows bitmap graphics standard for Windows legacy software, uncompressed pixel data. JPEG was created by Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992 and is best for photographs, web images. Note: JPEG doesn't support transparency. Any transparent areas in your BMP file will appear white in the converted JPEG. BMP files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to JPEG solves compatibility issues.

BMP uses lossy compression; JPEG uses lossless. Converting won't restore lost detail, but it prevents further quality degradation during editing and archiving.

Common use cases

  • Opening BMP files in tools that don't support them natively
  • Sharing BMP files with users who only have JPEG support
