Smaller with nothing lost — the rare free lunch

PNG is lossless, exactly like BMP, but it actually compresses. Every pixel is preserved bit for bit while the file typically drops to a quarter or less of the BMP size. For screenshots and flat-colour graphics the reduction is often far greater. There is no quality trade-off to weigh here.

This is the right conversion for screenshots and diagrams

If your BMP contains text, UI elements, charts or line art, PNG is the correct target and JPG is not. JPG compression leaves visible halos around every hard edge. PNG keeps them perfectly sharp and still shrinks the file substantially.

When JPG wins instead

For a photograph, JPG will produce a file many times smaller than PNG and the difference will not be visible. Use PNG for anything with hard edges, JPG for anything continuous-tone.

Questions

Is this free?

Yes. No account, no watermark, no cap on how many files you convert.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server — you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.

Is anything lost?

Nothing. Both formats are lossless — every pixel is preserved exactly. PNG simply compresses where BMP does not.

How much smaller?

Typically 60 to 90 percent smaller, and more for screenshots and flat graphics where PNG compression is most effective.

Should I use JPG instead?

Only for photographs, where JPG will be much smaller still. For screenshots, diagrams or anything with text, PNG is the right choice.

Is transparency preserved?

If the BMP has an alpha channel, yes — PNG supports transparency. Most BMP files do not have one.
