Frequently Asked Questions
Why are BMP files so large?
BMP stores every pixel without compression. A single 12-megapixel photo can be over 36 MB as BMP but only 3-5 MB as JPG.
Will converting to JPG affect image quality?
At 90-95% quality, the visual difference is imperceptible for photographs. The file size reduction is dramatic.
Can I convert BMP screenshots to JPG?
Yes, though for screenshots with text, consider PNG instead for crisper results. JPG works well for photographs.
