How it works

Three steps. No upload, no signup.

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Click the dropzone above or drag a BMP from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.

  2. 2

    Convert in your browser

    The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.

  3. 3

    Download

    Get your JPG the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.

Files stay on your device

Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.

No file size limit

Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.

Free, no signup, no ads on conversions

No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Drop a file, get a converted file.

About BMP and JPG

BMP, Bitmap Image File

BMP is Microsoft's original bitmap format from the late 1980s. It stores raw pixel data with minimal compression, which makes BMP files enormous (a 1080p screenshot is about 6 MB as BMP, 200 KB as PNG). The format remains common in Windows-internal contexts (clipboard, certain printer drivers, older industrial software) but is rarely chosen as a delivery format today.

How to open

Universal, every OS, browser, and image editor reads BMP. The format is so old it predates compatibility concerns.

JPG, Joint Photographic Experts Group

JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used photo format on the web. The format dates to 1992 and uses lossy compression, discarding image detail in exchange for dramatically smaller files. It can't carry transparency. Modern alternatives like WebP and AVIF compress 25-50% better at the same visual quality, but JPG remains the universal compatibility default: every browser, OS, and image editor in existence reads it.

How to open

Every operating system opens JPG natively, double-click on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android and the system viewer launches. Browsers render JPGs inline. Image editors (Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo, Pixelmator, Photopea in the browser) all read and write JPG.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this BMP → JPG converter really free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. Every conversion runs in your browser, your file never touches our servers because there are no servers.

Where does my file go when I convert it?

Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.

What's the maximum file size?

Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.

Why convert BMP to JPG?

Legacy Windows software, hardware drivers, certain industrial applications. Photographs and any web image where transparency isn't needed. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, JPG works in places where BMP doesn't, or vice versa.

How do I open a BMP file in the first place?

Universal, every OS, browser, and image editor reads BMP. The format is so old it predates compatibility concerns.

Does this work offline?

Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
