How to convert JPG to BMP
- Drop the image.
- Nothing to choose.
- 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 it once, not on every form
A form that wants a square JPEG under 240 KB says so on the page. The Fylane extension reads that, fits your photo to it, and puts it in the field — without you working out what 240 KB looks like.
And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.
Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.
