How do I convert jpg to bmp file on my Windows 11?
Converting JPG to BMP on Windows 11 is pretty straightforward, but there are definitely some common pitfalls you’ll want to avoid to make sure everything runs smoothly. Make sure you know where the converted BMP is going. If you just click "Save" without checking, it might end up in some random folder and you'll be hunting for it later!
JPG is a lossy format, which means when you convert it, you aren't preserving all the quality. While converting to BMP (which is lossless) should help keep quality, make sure that your original JPG isn’t super low-res. Otherwise, the BMP won't be much better.
Not all converters handle file types well. Some tools might mess up the image or crash halfway through, so stick to well-reviewed ones. Before you convert, it’s always a smart move to back up those original JPGs. You never know when you might need them again! BMP files don’t retain all the metadata found in JPGs (like camera settings, date taken, etc.). If that info is important to you, just keep it in mind.
