How to convert JPG to BMP

  1. Drop your JPG files in the box above. You can also click the box to pick files, or paste them.
  2. Each file is converted to BMP on your own device. It usually takes a second or two.
  3. Download each file, or get them all in one zip. Every file keeps its name.

Why convert JPG to BMP?

Most people do this because something they are using will not accept JPG files.

BMP files are usually much bigger than JPG, so only do this when something really needs BMP.

BMP is lossless, but it can't bring back detail JPG already discarded. The file will grow without looking better.

About the two formats

JPG: The standard choice for photos. Files are small and every app can open them. It can't store transparent backgrounds.

BMP: A plain Windows format with no compression. Files are big, but even very old programs can open them.

JPG and JPEG are the same format. The two extensions are interchangeable, and .jpg is the more common of the two. If a form has asked you for one and you have the other, rename it here rather than converting it.

The whole conversion happens in your browser. Your file is unpacked into raw pixels and saved again as BMP. Nothing is sent to any server.

Common questions

Is the JPG to BMP converter free?

Yes, properly free. No paid tier, no trial, no watermark on the result and nothing to sign up for. Put as many files through it as you like, as often as you like.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The JPG to BMP converter runs inside your browser, on your own machine, so your files never go anywhere. Big ones are fine too, up to whatever your browser can hold.

Does converting JPG to BMP improve quality?

No. BMP keeps every pixel it is given, but the detail JPG discarded when it was first saved is already gone and nothing can bring it back. What you get is a faithful copy of the JPG, in a bigger file. Convert to BMP when you need a lossless working copy, not to repair an image.

Will the BMP file be smaller than the JPG?

No, expect it to be a good deal bigger. BMP stores images far less efficiently than JPG, so only convert when something genuinely needs BMP. Compress the result afterwards if you have to send it anywhere.

Does converting JPG to BMP keep the date and location from the original?

No. The image is rebuilt pixel by pixel, so the camera model, the date and any GPS location in the original aren't carried into the BMP file. That cuts both ways: it strips information you may not want to share, and it loses information you may have wanted to keep. Check the original with the metadata viewer first if it matters.
