How to Convert BMP to JPG

Converting files isn't difficult if you have the right software. Use Adobe Photoshop or another professional graphics program like Corel Draw to go from .bmp to .jpg in a flash. The instructions here deal with Adobe Photoshop only; you can download a free trial from the Adobe website (see Resources below). If you are not using Photoshop, the steps will be almost the same.

Instructions

1. Open Adobe Photoshop or your graphics program.

2. Go to File>Open and navigate to your file. Once you have the file open, you have the ability to convert it to .jpg.

3. 

   Go to File>Save As and under format, choose "jpeg" from the drop-down list. If using Adobe Photoshop, a box will appear with jpeg options. If not using Photoshop, this box may or may not appear depending on your software.

4. 

   Make sure that the file has saved with a .bmp extension if you are not using Adobe Photoshop, and you're done. For Photoshop users: Move the slider to the left to decrease file size and image quality. You also have a couple of other options; choose whatever works for you. If your file size is small, you can keep the quality bumped up to maximum and Choose "Baseline Standard" for the other options available.

5. Hit "okay" and save your file, if you are using Photoshop.
