Why Convert BMP to JPG?
BMP (Bitmap) files are uncompressed image formats that preserve all image data but result in very large file sizes. JPG (JPEG) uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file size while maintaining good visual quality. This makes JPG ideal for:
- Web use (faster page loading)
- Email attachments
- Storage optimization
- Social media sharing
