BMP (Bitmap) is one of the oldest and largest image formats. BMP files store completely uncompressed pixel data — a typical 1920x1080 screenshot can be 6MB as BMP but just 200–400KB as JPG. Converting BMP to JPG is essential for anyone working with these legacy files.
Why Are BMP Files So Large?
BMP format stores the color value of every single pixel without any compression. For a 1920x1080 image with 24-bit color: 1920 × 1080 × 3 bytes = ~6MB. Compare to the same image as JPG at 85% quality: typically 300–500KB. That's a 12–20× size difference.
Expected Compression When Converting BMP to JPG
- Photos and complex images: 90–95% file size reduction
- Simple graphics with few colors: 70–85% reduction
- Screenshots and UI images: 85–92% reduction
