    Privacy and file handling

    File handling depends on the selected tool and format. For sensitive files, review the tool information before starting the operation.

    BMP is an uncompressed format, so it’s very large

    The BMP (bitmap) format, historically tied to Windows and Paint, stores every pixel with no compression at all: a BMP image can weigh several dozen megabytes for content that the same image in JPG would represent in a few hundred kilobytes. The final format should match how you plan to use it.

    Cutting file size for sending or storage

    Converting a BMP to JPG typically shrinks the file by a factor of 5 to 20 — a decisive gain for emailing, uploading to a size-limited site, or simply saving storage space. Always check the output file before sharing it. Conversion is available on the free plan within its daily usage quota.

    A format still produced by some scanners and older software

    Some scanners, screen-capture tools, or older business software still save in BMP by default. Converting to JPG gets you a format compatible with virtually every current use case: sharing, the web, printing. Keep the original until you have approved the result. Convert BMP files to JPG online.
