BMP vs JPEG Format Comparison

Aspect	BMP (Source Format)	JPEG (Target Format)
Format Overview	BMP Bitmap Image File Uncompressed raster image format developed by Microsoft; stores pixel data directly. Standard	JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group Lossy compressed format widely used for photographs, balancing quality and file size. Standard
Compression	No compression; stores full bitmap data.	Lossy DCT compression; adjustable quality vs file size.
Color Depth	1 to 24 bits per pixel, depending on variant.	8 bits per channel (24-bit color).
File Size	Very large; uncompressed data size proportional to resolution and color depth.	Moderate; depends on quality setting and resolution.
Advantages	Simple structure, easy to decode No loss of image data Compatible with legacy software	Wide compatibility across devices and software Significant file size reduction Ideal for web and photo sharing
Disadvantages	Extremely large file sizes Inefficient storage No support for transparency or metadata	Lossy compression can introduce artifacts No support for transparency Limited dynamic range compared to RAW formats
Use Cases	Legacy Windows applications Simple images without compression needs Software debugging and testing	Web publishing and social media Digital photo albums and galleries General-purpose image sharing
Tooling & Ecosystem	Microsoft Paint Basic image processing libraries Windows viewers and editors	Adobe Photoshop, GIMP Most photo viewers and editors Online and offline converters

Why Convert BMP to JPEG?

Converting BMP images to JPEG drastically reduces file size, making images easier to store, share, and load on web pages. While BMP stores raw pixel data without compression, JPEG applies lossy compression that balances image quality with file size savings, ideal for everyday photographs and web use.

Additionally, JPEG is universally supported across devices, browsers, and software, ensuring maximum compatibility. By converting to JPEG, you streamline your workflow, improve performance, and reduce bandwidth usage without significant perceptible loss in visual quality.
