Why Convert BMP to JPG?
BMP (Bitmap) is an uncompressed format that stores every pixel individually, producing enormous file sizes. A BMP photo can easily be 5–20× larger than its JPG equivalent with little to no visible difference. Converting to JPG makes files practical to share via email, upload to websites, or store without wasting disk space. JPG is also universally supported by every device, app, and service.

Choosing the Right Quality
At 85% quality the JPG is virtually indistinguishable from the BMP original while being a fraction of the size. Drop to 70–80% for social media or messaging where the smallest file size matters. Use 90–95% only when you need near-lossless output for print or archival purposes.
