How to convert JPG to BMP
- Choose or drop one or more JPG files above.
- Conversion starts right away. Resize first if you need different dimensions.
- Download each BMP, or save them all as a ZIP.
Why convert JPG to BMP?
JPG is compressed, which many simple devices cannot decode. BMP is plain pixel data, so it is easy to read. That is why displays on small boards, older Windows software and some industrial tools ask for BMP, even though the files are much bigger.
File size warning
A 12-megapixel photo becomes a BMP of roughly 36MB. If that is too large for your device, set a smaller size with Resize before converting. For a screen of 800 by 480 pixels the BMP is only about 1.2MB.
Quality
- The BMP holds exactly what the JPG shows, with no new loss.
- It cannot restore detail the JPG already discarded.
- Metadata such as camera and location details is not copied.

Privacy, speed and file names
Every JPG file is opened and saved as BMP inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded and conversion starts right away. Speed depends on your device, not your connection. Results are named after the original with “-tech9pros” added, so your originals are never overwritten. A BMP can be ten times bigger than the JPG it came from.
Converting many files
Select up to 30 files at once and download them one by one or as a single ZIP. If you change a setting, the files are converted again with the new value, so you can try a different quality without adding them again.
If something goes wrong
If your device rejects the file, check its maximum size and pixel dimensions, then resize and convert again.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the BMP so large?
JPG compresses the picture, while BMP stores every pixel. The BMP is often ten times larger.
Does JPG to BMP improve quality?
No. It keeps what the JPG shows, but cannot bring back lost detail.
Can I make the BMP smaller?
Yes. Use the Resize setting to reduce the pixel dimensions, because BMP size depends only on the pixel count.
