BMP to JPG Conversion FAQ
Does BMP to JPG conversion preserve transparency?
+
Transparency survives when JPG is PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, or SVG. Converting to JPG flattens the alpha channel against a white background — if you need transparency, pick a transparency-aware target instead of JPG. JPG is the JPEG standard from 1992, served under the .jpg, .jpeg and .jfif extensions alike, and after three decades it is still the format most cameras and most websites use for photographs.
How much quality will I lose going from BMP to JPG?
+
At quality 80-85 the difference is invisible at normal viewing distance and the file typically drops by 60-80%. The catch is that it is one-way: re-saving the JPG repeatedly compounds the artefacts each time. Keep the BMP as the master and regenerate the JPG from it whenever you need a new size. BMP needs no decoder library at all, so it remains the safe interchange format for embedded systems and legacy Windows tooling. JPG is lossy: the image is transformed with a DCT, quantised, and entropy-coded, with a quality knob controlling how much is discarded.
What happens to EXIF metadata when converting BMP to JPG?
+
In most conversions, camera EXIF fields such as the camera model and GPS position are not carried into the JPG. There is no setting on this page to keep or remove metadata, so check the result with a metadata viewer if it matters.
Can I batch-convert hundreds of BMP files to JPG at once?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
Are my BMP files private during conversion?
+
Yes. Uploaded BMP files are processed on our own conversion servers, no person reviews them, and they are never shared. The upload and the converted JPG are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
Why is my converted JPG file bigger or smaller than expected?
+
A BMP file with strong compression (heavily lossy JPG) often grows when re-encoded into a lossless JPG (PNG, TIFF), and a high-bitrate lossless BMP often shrinks dramatically when going to JPG/WebP. The ratio depends on the image content (photos compress differently from line-art or screenshots). BMP is gigantic — a 12-megapixel photo is around 36 MB — and no browser treats it as a sane web format. JPG has no transparency, degrades further every time it is re-saved, and produces visible blocking on flat colour and sharp text.
