Need Uncompressed BMP Format?
BMP (Windows Bitmap) is an uncompressed image format. While outdated for most uses, some legacy software, embedded systems, and specialized applications specifically require BMP files.
Converting JPG to BMP creates uncompressed bitmap files for these specific use cases. The image is decompressed to raw pixel data.
How to Convert JPG to BMP
- Upload your JPG file – Select your image
- Confirm BMP output – BMP provides uncompressed bitmap format
- Download your file – Get your BMP file for legacy applications
Conversion happens in your browser—no software required.
Why Use BMP?
Legacy Software
Some older Windows applications and industrial software only accept BMP files. If your system specifically requires BMP, conversion is necessary.
Embedded Systems
Certain microcontrollers and display systems work with raw bitmap data. BMP's simple uncompressed format is easier to parse.
Technical Applications
Some engineering and medical imaging software uses BMP for its straightforward pixel format.
BMP Characteristics
- Uncompressed – No data loss, but very large files
- Simple format – Raw pixel data, easy to process
- Windows native – Originated with early Windows
- No transparency – Limited to solid backgrounds
File Size Warning
BMP files are dramatically larger than JPG:
- A 500KB JPG might become 5-10MB as BMP
- No compression means full raw pixel data
- Ensure you have adequate storage space
Only use BMP when specifically required. For most uses, JPG or PNG are more efficient.
Works on Any Device
Convert JPG to BMP in your browser:
- Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook
- Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
- iPhone, iPad, Android
