Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert BMP to JPEG and keep it under 500KB?+
Convert your BMP file to JPEG using the free converter, then check the resulting file size. If it's still above 500KB, run it through the image compressor and lower the quality slider until it fits.
Does converting to JPEG always reduce file size?+
Not always — it depends on the image content. JPEG is a lossy format that compresses photos well, trading some quality for a smaller file size. For the smallest reliable file size, combine format conversion with the compressor's quality slider.
Is this tool really free with no upload limits?+
Yes. Conversion and compression both run entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — no files are uploaded to a server, so there are no size limits or sign-up requirements.
