    What actually changes

    JPG and BMP are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    The JPEG is decoded to RGB and written out as uncompressed rows. The visible image is exactly what the JPEG decoded to; the file becomes ten to thirty times larger.

    Worth knowing first

    Decoding a JPEG does not undo it. The BMP is an uncompressed copy of a lossy image, so all the 8x8 block artefacts are now stored at full size and permanently, and they will be visible if the file is later enlarged.

    Questions

    JPG to BMP, answered

    Does BMP look better than JPG?

    No. It is bigger, not better. The quality was fixed when the JPEG was created.

    Which BMP bit depth do I get?

    24-bit, three bytes per pixel, which is the variant that legacy software reads reliably.

    How to convert JPG to BMP

    01

    Add your files

    Drop one JPG or two hundred. Batch conversion is not a paid feature here.

    02

    Choose your settings

    Windows Bitmap is lossless, so nothing is thrown away in the conversion.

    03

    Download

    Instant, because the file never went anywhere. Nothing expires, since nothing was stored.
