JPG to BMP Converter

What is BMP Format?

BMP (Bitmap Image File) is a raster image file format developed by Microsoft for Windows. BMP files are uncompressed, meaning they preserve every pixel of the original image without any compression artifacts. While BMP files are larger than compressed formats like JPG, they offer maximum image quality and are universally supported in Windows systems. BMP format supports various color depths (1-bit, 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit) and is ideal for applications requiring uncompressed image data.

Why Convert JPG to BMP?

Convert JPG to BMP when you need uncompressed image quality or Windows-specific compatibility. JPG uses lossy compression which permanently reduces image quality, while BMP is uncompressed and preserves every pixel perfectly. Key reasons to convert: preserve maximum image quality (no compression artifacts), ensure Windows compatibility (native BMP support), prepare images for Windows applications (many Windows programs prefer BMP), archive images without quality loss (uncompressed format), or use images in legacy systems (BMP is widely supported). BMP is essential for applications requiring pixel-perfect accuracy, Windows software development, and archival purposes where quality preservation is critical. Note that BMP files will be significantly larger than JPG files due to lack of compression.

Benefits of BMP Format

• Uncompressed Quality - Zero compression artifacts, perfect pixel preservation
• Windows Native - Built-in support in all Windows systems
• Maximum Compatibility - Works with all Windows applications
• No Quality Loss - Preserves every pixel of the original image
• Simple Format - Easy to read and process by software
• Color Depth Support - Supports various color depths up to 32-bit

Is it free to convert JPG to BMP?

Yes! Our JPG to BMP converter is completely free with unlimited conversions. No registration, subscriptions, or hidden fees. Convert as many images as you need for Windows applications or archival purposes.

Will BMP files be larger than JPG files?

Yes, BMP files are typically 3-10 times larger than JPG files because BMP is uncompressed while JPG uses lossy compression. However, BMP preserves every pixel perfectly with no quality loss, making it ideal for applications requiring maximum image quality.

Will image quality be preserved when converting JPG to BMP?

BMP format preserves the image data from the JPG file, but since JPG uses lossy compression, some quality may have already been lost in the original JPG. Converting to BMP prevents further quality loss and preserves the current image quality perfectly. For best results, start with high-quality JPG images.

Can I use BMP files on systems other than Windows?

Yes, BMP files can be opened on macOS, Linux, and other operating systems, though they're most commonly associated with Windows. Most image viewers and editors support BMP format across all platforms.

What's the maximum file size for JPG to BMP conversion?

You can convert JPG files up to 100MB each. For batch conversion, you can upload up to 20 files at once, with a total size limit of 100MB. Note that the resulting BMP files will be larger than the original JPG files.

Why would I choose BMP over JPG?

Choose BMP when you need uncompressed quality, Windows-specific compatibility, or when working with applications that require BMP format. BMP is ideal for archival purposes, Windows software development, and situations where maximum image quality is more important than file size. For web use or general sharing, JPG is usually more practical due to smaller file sizes.

How long does JPG to BMP conversion take?

Conversion takes 1-2 seconds per image. BMP conversion is fast because it's primarily a format change. The result is an uncompressed BMP file ready for Windows applications or archival use.
