How to convert JPG to BMP

  1. Drop the image.
  2. Nothing to choose.
  3. Press Convert and download.

What happens to your file

The picture is decoded and written by ImageMagick as a 24-bit uncompressed BMP: three bytes per pixel, no compression, so a 12-megapixel photo is 36 MB. That size is the point of the format — nothing to decode.

Questions

Why would anyone want BMP?

Old Windows software, some embedded and industrial devices, label printers and a few games read nothing else.

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \

    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "image.convert",
    "options": {
      "format": "bmp"
    }
  }'

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.
