Why convert JPG to BMP?
JPG is a lossy format tuned for photographs, trading a little detail for dramatically smaller files. BMP is an uncompressed raster format that stores raw pixel data, yielding large but universally readable files.
JPG is already a lossy format, so converting to lossless BMP will not recover detail that was discarded — but it prevents any further loss and gives you a broadly editable copy, at the cost of a larger file. BMP is readable by virtually all legacy Windows software.
Pixohub converts JPG to BMP entirely inside your browser using the HTML canvas API, so your images are never uploaded to a server. That makes conversion instant, completely private, and free — turn as many JPG files into BMP as you like. Reach for BMP whenever you need maximum compatibility with legacy Windows software and raw, lossless pixels.
JPG vs BMP: what to expect
JPG is best for photographs and richly detailed images where a small file size matters most, while BMP shines for maximum compatibility with legacy Windows software and raw, lossless pixels. Keep your original JPG if you may later need the source file, and export a BMP copy for compatibility and editing.
