How do I convert jpg to bmp file on my Windows 11?
Recently I want to convert a bunch of JPG to BMP format to use as materials for an old software (it can only read BMP, so speechless). I thought that the "Paint" that comes with Windows 11 can do it ...
On Windows 11 you don’t need any extra software — the built-in Paint app can directly convert JPG to BMP. Here’s the simplest way I’ve used myself:
✅ Steps to Convert JPG to BMP in Windows 11 (using Paint)
- Right-click your JPG file → choose Open with → Paint.
(Or open Paint from Start menu and drag the JPG into it.) - Once the image is open in Paint, go to the top left menu and click File → Save as.
- From the options, choose BMP picture (*.bmp).
- Pick the save location and file name, then hit Save.
- That’s it — your picture is now in BMP format.
Notes
The original JPG stays safe — Paint creates a new BMP copy, it won’t overwrite unless you pick the same name.
Works fine for batch jobs too: just repeat the steps per file. If you need to handle many at once, you can select multiple JPGs, right-click → Open with Paint, then save each as BMP.
