How to convert BMP to JPG
BMP images are uncompressed and very large. Converting to JPG shrinks them dramatically so they're easy to email and upload.
- Drop your BMP file into the box above, or add it from a link.
- JPG is already selected. Use the settings button next to it to change size, quality or other options.
- Select Convert, then download your JPG file.
To do this from your own code, call the FileForge API with "output_format": "jpg".
Good to know
- Expect files 10–30 times smaller.
- For screenshots with text, use quality 90+ or convert to PNG instead to keep text crisp.
About the formats
.bmp
BMP is Windows' uncompressed bitmap format. Files are very large for their size, so it's rarely used outside older software that requires it.
.jpg
JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely supported photo format. It uses lossy compression to keep files small, which suits photographs well but can blur sharp edges and text, and it has no transparency.
Questions
Is PNG better than JPG for BMP screenshots?
Yes. PNG is lossless and still much smaller than BMP. JPG is better for photos.
