BMP files come off scanners, out of industrial software and from ancient copies of Paint, and they store every pixel raw: one A4 scan can pass 20 megabytes. Rewriting it as a JPG usually leaves something under a megabyte that opens anywhere and attaches to anything. Nothing is uploaded, so a scanned document stays between you and this laptop.
Frequently asked questions
- How much smaller is the JPG than the bitmap?
- Commonly twenty to fifty times smaller, because BMP applies no compression whatsoever while JPG was designed for exactly this kind of content.
- Is a scanned page still readable afterwards?
- Text stays crisp at the quality setting used here. When the scan is destined for OCR rather than for a human reader, PNG avoids even the small amount of smoothing JPG applies.
- My BMP will not open in anything modern, will it convert here?
- If the browser can decode it, this page can rewrite it, and that covers the ordinary 24 and 32 bit bitmaps that nearly everything produces. Exotic variants such as run length encoded or 16 bit files are the ones that may still refuse, here as elsewhere.
