Free JPG to BMP converter online
Need a BMP instead of a JPG? This free converter turns JPG files into BMP images right in your browser. Add as many files as you like, adjust the settings and download the results individually or together as a ZIP.
JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used photo format in the world. It uses lossy compression that throws away detail the eye barely notices, which keeps photos small, but it cannot store transparency and every re-save loses a little quality. JPG files usually carry EXIF metadata such as the camera model, the date and often the GPS location where the photo was taken.
BMP is an uncompressed bitmap format from early Windows. Because it stores every pixel raw, BMP files are enormous (a 12 megapixel photo is about 36 MB) but they are trivially simple, so old software, microcontrollers, label printers and some games still require them.
