Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my BMP file become so large?

BMP is uncompressed, storing every pixel's color data without compression. A JPG that's 500KB compressed might become 10MB+ as BMP, depending on dimensions.

Will I gain quality converting JPG to BMP?

No. You cannot recover quality lost during JPG compression by converting to BMP. BMP will simply store the already-compressed JPG image data in uncompressed format.

When is BMP necessary?

BMP is mainly needed for legacy Windows software, older versions of Paint, or systems that specifically require uncompressed bitmap format. For modern use, PNG or JPG are better choices.

Can I edit BMP in Windows Paint?

Yes! BMP is the native format for Windows Paint and works with all versions. It's perfect if you need to edit images in Paint and maintain maximum compatibility.
