Does converting to BMP remove JPEG artifacts?

No. The blockiness and softened edges are already in the pixels, and BMP just stores them without further compression. It also cannot recover the detail JPG discarded.

How big should a BMP of my photo be?

For a true 24-bit BMP, roughly width × height × 3 bytes plus a small header. A 4000×3000 photo would be about 36 MB, versus a few megabytes as JPG.

Will the download open as a real BMP?

Yes. A browser canvas cannot produce BMP and quietly returns PNG, so this tool writes the bitmap bytes itself. The file has a proper BM header and uncompressed 24-bit rows, which strict readers accept.

Does the bitmap keep the original camera orientation tag?

No tag is written. Modern browsers rotate the JPG according to its EXIF orientation while decoding, so the pixels come out already upright.

About JPG to BMP

Converts a JPG into a bitmap by decoding the compressed photo to raw pixels and writing them out as a genuine 24-bit BMP. It is aimed at workflows where an uncompressed raster is expected, such as older Windows programs or hardware loaders.

How to use it

Choose a JPG or JPEG using the dropzone; drag and drop works as well.
Confirm the thumbnail shows the picture you meant to convert.
Select Convert to BMP. The tool exposes no settings, since bitmaps are not quality-tuned.
When the Output area fills in, choose Download BMP.

When to use it

Supplying a legacy CAD, kiosk or point-of-sale program that accepts bitmap backgrounds only.
Getting an uncompressed copy so another script can read pixels without a JPEG decoder.
Handing over a file for a course exercise on raster formats and byte layout.

Good to know. If the destination software is strict about format, check the header bytes. The file begins with BM, as a real BMP does.
