Why are BMP files so big?

BMP (Bitmap) is an uncompressed format. It stores every single pixel individually, which makes files huge. JPG compresses this data, often making the file 95% smaller with no noticeable quality loss.

Should I convert BMP to JPG or PNG?

If it's a photo, choose JPG for the best file size. If it's a screenshot or graphic with sharp lines, choose PNG to keep it crisp.

Compress Old Bitmaps

BMP files are relics of the early PC era. They are uncompressed and take up massive amounts of disk space.

Converting to JPG modernizes your images, shrinking them to a fraction of their original size so you can actually share them via email or uploading.
