How the conversion works
The BMP is decoded in your browser, drawn onto a canvas, and re-encoded as a JPG at the quality you pick. Because BMP stores every pixel uncompressed, the JPG step is where the large size drop happens.
Supported formats and browser compatibility
Input is a standard BMP (bitmap) image. JPG output opens in virtually every program, phone, and website, unlike BMP, which some modern apps handle poorly. Every current browser can create the JPG.
Limitations and quality notes
BMP is uncompressed, so the JPG is usually far smaller, often by 90 percent or more. JPG is lossy, so at low quality you may see compression artifacts, especially around text and sharp edges; keep the quality high for scans. Any transparency becomes white, and files up to 30MB are supported.
Privacy and local processing
The bitmap is converted on your device inside the browser. It is never uploaded or stored, so scans and documents stay private and disappear when you refresh.
