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 extra software — the built-in Paint app can convert JPG to BMP directly:
Right-click your JPG file and choose Open with > Paint.
In Paint, click File > Save as.
From the format list, choose BMP picture (*.bmp).
Pick a folder and name, then click Save.
This keeps the image quality and creates a BMP file without any third-party tools. For multiple files you’ll need to repeat the steps, since Paint handles them one by one.
This is the simplest and most common way to convert JPG to BMP on Windows 11 using only system-built features.
