Convert JPEG to BMP
What is JPEG?
JPEG
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) uses lossy DCT-based compression, optimized for photographs with millions of colors. Supports 24-bit color depth. Quality vs size tradeoff adjustable via compression level. No transparency support. EXIF metadata for camera data. Universal web and camera format. Converting between image formats preserves or re-encodes pixel data.
- JPEG uses lossy compression for efficient image storage
- Lossy compression means conversion to BMP preserves but cannot restore quality
- DCT-based compression removes high-frequency visual data
- Supports 24-bit RGB color (16.7 million colors)
- No transparency support—requires opaque backgrounds
What is BMP?
BMP
BMP (Bitmap) stores uncompressed raster images as raw pixel data with optional RLE compression. Developed by Microsoft. Simple structure: header, color palette (for indexed colors), and pixel array. No compression in standard form results in large file sizes. Supports 1-bit to 32-bit color depths. Maximum resolution 65,535×65,535 pixels. Lossless quality but inefficient storage. Limited web use due to size.
- BMP uses lossless compression for perfect quality image storage
- Lossless source ensures maximum quality for JPEG conversion
- No transparency support—requires opaque backgrounds
Why Convert JPEG to BMP?
✓ Prevent Further Quality Loss
JPEG already uses lossy compression. Converting to BMP prevents additional degradation during editing or re-encoding, preserving the current quality level for further processing.
✓ Storage Optimization
Optimize file storage and bandwidth usage while maintaining appropriate quality levels for your specific use case, balancing size efficiency with content requirements.
✓ Future-Proof Format
BMP ensures long-term accessibility and compatibility as software evolves, providing reliable format support across current and future platform versions.
✓ Simplified Sharing
BMP format simplifies file sharing via email, cloud storage, and collaboration platforms with guaranteed recipient access and consistent display across systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can .bmp recover detail removed by .jpeg compression?
Unfortunately no. JPEG uses lossy compression that permanently removes information. BMP stores the current state losslessly, preventing additional degradation during future edits, but cannot recover data .jpeg already discarded during its compression.
Can I queue multiple .jpeg files for .bmp conversion?
Multiple .jpeg files convert simultaneously. Free: 3 files per batch. Premium: 20 files with ZIP download. All .bmp conversions maintain original quality levels.
Where does JPEG to BMP processing happen?
Inside your web browser only. JPEG files never leave your local machine. All BMP conversion processing occurs on your device using WebAssembly.
How big can my JPEG file be?
Free accounts: 100MB maximum. Premium accounts: 500MB maximum. Typical image files convert easily. Upgrade Premium for larger JPEG to BMP conversions.
How quickly will my JPEG file convert to BMP?
Very fast! Small JPEG files (under 5MB) convert to BMP in 1-3 seconds using browser processing. JPEG files up to 20MB typically complete in 5-10 seconds. Processing happens directly on your device—no upload delays.
Do I need to install any software?
No! Everything works directly in your web browser. No downloads, no installations, no plugins required. Just upload your file and convert. Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices.
