There are many in various ways conversion various formats images. Today we will look at several of them, which will directly relate to converting BMP format images into jpg/jpeg.

BMP is very old raster format, which was used by default for Paint back in Windows XP. Images of this format are very rarely found on the Internet because they are very heavy. A simple picture with a small number of colors in the BMP format can take up hundreds of kilobytes, whereas in JPEG format it will only weigh 2 to 3 KB.

BMP and JPEG support up to 16 million colors, which means that when converting from one format to another, the image quality should not change.

Well, now I think it’s time to describe to you the process of converting from one format to another. For conversion I will use free programs, which I will also post for you to download.

Probably the simplest and most effective method which can be used by absolutely anyone computer user.

Converting from bmp to jpg (or vice versa) starts with the simplest thing - opening the graphics editor itself. Then you need to put the image that needs conversion into the editor. To do this, click " File/Open" Next, find the picture on your computer and click “ Open».


Next, click “ File/Save As../JPEG Image" In the old fashioned way, select the path to save the file and that’s it.


Agree, everything is simple, fast and clear.

BMP raster graphics format images are generated without compression, and therefore take up significant space on the hard drive. In this regard, they often have to be converted into more compact formats, for example, in JPG.

There are two main directions for converting BMP to JPG: using the one installed on the PC software and the use of online converters. In this article we will consider exclusively methods based on the use of software installed on the computer. Programs of various types can accomplish this task:

  • Converters;
  • Applications for viewing images;
  • Graphics editors.

Let's talk about practical application these groups of methods for converting one image format to another.

Method 1: Format Factory

Let's begin the description of methods with converters, namely with the Format Factory program, which in Russian is called Format Factory.

  1. Run Format Factory. Click on the block name "Photo".
  2. A list of different image formats will open. Click on the icon "JPG".
  3. The JPG conversion options window opens. First of all, you need to specify the source to be converted, for which click "Add file".
  4. The object selection window is activated. Find the place where the BMP source is stored, select it and click "Open". If necessary, you can add multiple elements in this way.
  5. The name and address of the selected file will appear in the JPG conversion options window. Can you produce additional settings by pressing the button "Tune".
  6. In the window that opens, you can change the image size, set the rotation angle, add a label and watermarks. After performing all those manipulations that you consider necessary to perform, press "OK".
  7. Returning to the main window for the parameters of the selected conversion direction, you need to set the directory where the outgoing image will be sent. Click "Change".
  8. The directory picker opens "Browse folders". Select in it the directory in which the finished JPG will be located. Click "OK".
  9. In the main settings window for the selected transformation direction in the field "Destination Folder" will be displayed specified path. Now you can close the settings window by clicking "OK".

  11. Conversion completed. This is evidenced by the appearance of the status "Done" in column "State".
  12. The processed JPG image will be saved in the location specified by the user in the settings. You can also go to this directory through the Format Factory interface. To do this, click right click mouse over the task name in the main program window. In the list that appears, click "Open destination folder".
  13. Activated "Conductor" exactly where the final JPG image is stored.

This method is good because the Format Factory program is free and allows you to convert a large number of objects from BMP to JPG at the same time.

Method 2: Movavi Video Converter

The next software used to convert BMP to JPG is Movavi Video Converter, which, despite its name, can convert not only video, but also audio and images.

  1. Launch Movavi Video Converter. To go to the picture selection window, click "Add files". From the list that opens, select "Add images...".

  4. Then select from the list "JPEG". A list of format types should appear. In this case, it will consist of only one point "JPEG". Click on it. After this, near the parameter "Output Format" the value should be displayed "JPEG".
  5. By default, conversion is performed in a special program folder "Movavi Library". But quite often users are not satisfied with this state of affairs. They want to designate the final conversion directory themselves. To make the necessary changes, you need to click on the button “Select a folder to save finished files”, which is presented in the form of a catalog logo.
  6. The shell starts "Select folder". Go to the directory where you want to store the finished JPGs. Click "Select folder".

In a widely popular format JPEG a lossy data compression algorithm is used. Mechanism JPEG compression used in a variety of file formats to store image data. JPEG/Exif has become the most common format adopted by digital cameras and other photography devices. Files in this format are the most common way to store and transfer image data on the Internet.

BMP or Bitmap - raster graphic format compatible with a wide range of image viewing and processing software. BMP files store all the pixels of an image without applying any compression.
