BMP files are uncompressed and extremely large. Converting to JPG reduces file size by 90-95% with minimal visible quality loss. This makes images much easier to share via email, faster to upload/download, and practical for web use.
Typically, JPG files are 90-95% smaller than BMP. A 10MB BMP image might become a 500KB JPG with virtually identical visual quality. The exact reduction depends on image complexity and JPG quality settings.
JPG uses lossy compression, so there will be some quality loss. However, for photographs and complex images, this loss is usually imperceptible to human eyes. BMP's uncompressed format is rarely necessary for typical photo viewing or sharing.
Keep BMP only for specific professional workflows requiring uncompressed images, like medical imaging or certain print applications. For general photography, web use, sharing, or storage, JPG's efficient compression is far more practical.
