How to convert BMP to JPG

  1. Drop the image.
  2. Pick a quality.
  3. Press Convert and download.

What happens to your file

ImageMagick reads the file on Fylane’s servers — a format libvips does not read — into a lossless PNG, and the ordinary pipeline encodes that. Deleted on schedule.

A BMP stores every pixel uncompressed; the JPG is the same picture at a fraction of the bytes, at a quality most people cannot tell apart.

Questions

Why is my BMP so large?

It is not compressed at all — three bytes for every pixel. A 12-megapixel BMP is 36 MB before anything is done to it.

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "image.convert",
    "options": {
      "format": "jpeg",
      "quality": 82
    }
  }'

The same operation, image.convert — Re-encode to WebP, JPEG, PNG or AVIF at your quality. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
