Convert bmp to jpeg



To convert bmp to jpeg, you can really use any image editor or photo editor. Most image viewers can do it too.

I told you at the page about general image conversion that image conversion is nothing complicated.

To convert bmp to jpeg is even easier, because you may already have an image editor, even a simple one.  They all know the bmp image format and the jpeg image format.  They are all able to open a bmp image file and to save a jpeg image file!

Thus they are all able to convert a bitmap to jpeg.  It does NOT need a "jpeg converter".

info Example:
To convert a bmp -Bitmap Image-
to jpeg -Joint Photographic Experts Group-,
you open the bmp file -Menu File->Open-
with your image editor software
and you save it as a jpeg -Menu File->Save as...-
  ...Yes that's all!

The dialog Save As...  usually has a combo-box named Type or Format  where you can select jpeg or jpg as the format you want your file to be saved as.

Additional considerations


What else is important when choosing a photo editor to convert a bitmap to jpeg?  Jpeg being THE format most people use to publish photos on the web, the compression of the jpeg image may be important for you.
Read the page about Jpeg compression to learn more about this subject.

Advice: When you convert bmp to jpeg,  it is important that you keep the original image file either as a bmp file or another lossless image format like png.  Jpeg being a lossy format, keeping your image only as a jpeg file, you will definitely lose the quality of the original image.
