BMP to JPG Converter
BMP files are uncompressed and very large — a single screenshot can be 5–25 MB. Converting to JPG typically makes them 10–30× smaller while keeping them looking the same.
JPG photos are placed in the PDF exactly as they are (no quality loss), so metadata such as the location stays inside the PDF. To remove it first, use Remove EXIF Data.
How to convert BMP to JPG
- Drop one or more BMP files into the box above — or click to choose them.
- Adjust the quality if you like — each file is converted to JPG straight away.
- Download a single file, or all of them at once as a ZIP.
Why convert BMP to JPG?
- Dramatically smaller files that are easy to email and upload.
- JPG is accepted by every website, app and upload form.
- Great for old scans and screenshots saved by legacy Windows software.
What this converter accepts and produces
| Input | BMP bitmaps with 1, 4, 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits per pixel that your browser can open. |
|---|---|
| Output | JPG with a quality setting. Transparent areas are filled with white. For screenshots with sharp text, PNG may be the better target. |
| Example | A 1920 × 1080 screenshot is about 6 MB as a 24-bit BMP (3 bytes per pixel) and often well under 1 MB as JPG. |
| Limits | A BMP that the browser cannot display as an image cannot be converted. Metadata is not copied. |

Frequently asked questions
Why are BMP files so big?
BMP stores every pixel without compression. JPG compresses the image, discarding detail the eye barely notices.
Should I choose JPG or PNG for BMP screenshots?
For screenshots with text and flat colors, PNG keeps everything perfectly sharp and is still much smaller than BMP. For photos, JPG is smallest.
Which BMP types are supported?
All common BMP variants that browsers open — 1, 4, 8, 16, 24 and 32-bit.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser on your own device. Your images are never sent to Imgovo or anyone else.
Can I convert several images at once?
Yes. Select or drop as many images as you like. They are converted one after another, and you can download each file or all of them together as a ZIP.
Can I undo a change?
Yes. Undo and Redo appear above the list once you add files (or press Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z). They bring back a file you removed, undo “Clear all” and return to the previous quality or format — files are converted again automatically when needed.
Is the converter free?
Yes — free, with no signup, no watermark and no daily limit.
