Can I convert BMP to JPEG?

Yes. Choose the BMP file in BMP to JPG, optionally set quality, and download the converted image.

Why is my BMP file so much larger than the JPG?

Most BMP files store pixels uncompressed. JPEG uses lossy compression, so the same picture is typically far smaller as a JPG.

What happens to transparency?

Transparent or partially transparent pixels are flattened onto a white background, because JPEG has no alpha channel.

Are my files uploaded?

No. BMP to JPG conversion runs locally in your browser and does not upload your file to Looty Tools servers.

Why did decoding fail?

Some uncommon BMP variants or corrupted files cannot be decoded by every browser. Try re-exporting the file, or use a current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari.

Can I convert to PNG instead?

Use BMP to PNG when you need lossless output.
