JPG to BMP Converter

Decode a JPG in the browser, draw it to a canvas, and export the pixels as a 24-bit BMP file with a local browser-side encoder.

How The Converter Works

The browser decodes the JPG, draws the image to a canvas, and then a BMP encoder writes a 24-bit bitmap header and pixel rows.

BMP output is uncompressed in this tool, so the generated file is often much larger than the source JPG.

Quick Examples

BMP output is useful when a toolchain expects simple bitmap pixel data.
Canvas redraw lets the browser decode JPG compression before pixel export.
BMP files are often much larger than JPG files because they are typically uncompressed.
Local conversion is useful for offline workflows and privacy-sensitive images.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the BMP stay compressed?

No. This tool writes a simple 24-bit BMP file, which is typically uncompressed.

Why is the BMP larger than the JPG?

JPG uses lossy compression, while the BMP written here stores explicit pixel rows.

Does this preserve transparency?

JPG does not carry transparency, and this BMP export uses a 24-bit RGB bitmap.

What can I use JPG to BMP for?

It is useful for legacy programs, pixel inspection, bitmap workflows, and basic raster interchange.

Useful Notes

BMP export is ideal for simple bitmap interoperability, not file-size efficiency.

The preview reflects the decoded raster image, even though the downloaded file format changes.

The conversion runs entirely in the browser without uploading the file to a server.
