BMP files preserve every pixel with lossless compression, but this comes at the cost of larger file sizes. Converting to JPG applies lossy DCT-based compression that can dramatically reduce file size while maintaining visual quality that is indistinguishable from the original for most viewers.
BMP (Bitmap Image File, introduced in 1986) uses None (RLE optional but rarely used) compression. JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group, introduced in 1992) uses DCT-based lossy (baseline, progressive, or lossless) compression. BMP browser support: All modern browsers. JPG browser support: Universal.
Converting from BMP (lossless) to JPG (lossy) will reduce file size significantly, but some quality is permanently discarded during compression. At higher quality settings (80-90%), the visual or audible difference is typically imperceptible. At lower settings, compression artifacts may become noticeable. Always keep your original BMP file as a master copy.
Typical BMP file size: A 12MP photo: ~36 MB (24-bit uncompressed). Typical JPG file size: A 12MP photo at quality 80: ~3-5 MB. Expect a dramatic file size reduction — often 5-20x smaller — when converting from uncompressed BMP to JPG.
Always keep your original BMP file as a master copy. Convert to JPG only for distribution. If you need to make changes later, work from the lossless original to avoid compounding compression artifacts.
