About BMP to JPG

BMP (Bitmap) is an uncompressed image format that produces very large files — a simple photo can be 10-50 MB as a BMP. Converting to JPG typically reduces file size by 90% or more while maintaining good visual quality. This tool loads your BMP file in the browser, draws it to a Canvas element, and re-exports it as a compressed JPG. No files are uploaded to any server. Adjust the quality slider to balance file size and image quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are BMP files so large?

BMP (Bitmap) stores every pixel's color data without any compression. A 12-megapixel photo can be over 36 MB as a BMP. Converting to JPG applies lossy compression that typically reduces size by 90% or more.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Transmute processes everything locally in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your files never leave your device — there is no server, no upload, no cloud processing.

Will I lose quality converting BMP to JPG?

JPG uses lossy compression, so there is some quality reduction. However, at 85-90% quality, the difference is virtually invisible to the human eye while the file size drops dramatically.

Where do BMP files come from?

BMP files are common in legacy Windows applications, screenshots from older software, scanned documents, and certain embedded systems. They're rarely used today because of their enormous file size.
