Are there any free programs that converts bmp to jpg?

Illusion13 · Jan 30, 2004, 02:41 AM

Bmp files are rather huge... And, the only program that I can think of that can convert to jpg is photoshop, which I dont have...

Irfan View can even batch convert dozens of bitmaps into anything you want.

I personally prefer ACDSee for actually looking at the pics, but for batch converting Irfan View is my first choice.

Like Longasc says, infanview seems to be the best

How about MS Paint? It will load both Bmp and jpg. Just load the Bmp file and save it as jpg.

rdomarat · Jan 30, 2004, 08:03 AM

Nothing is better than IrfanView.

pretty sure they all do it. i was running 98 SE not long ago, and that did it.

anyways, paint should be able to do it if you have nothing else.

My paint on 98 SE does it also.

You may have misunderstood, I was referring to it not being able to save the pictures as .jpg's --- and it is SE.
It can load 'em fine

This might just be me though

My 98 (not SE) can load and save .jpg and .gif, but Paint at school (where they run 2000) can't. Funny.

Ankka · Feb 04, 2004, 07:53 AM

Irfanview can save the files in many formats, it's the best.

GenghisK · Feb 04, 2004, 12:09 PM

BAahhhhhhh!!! The GIMP!! All the way!
Nobody thought about the GIMP!
www.gimp.org tsk tsk

Achinz · Feb 05, 2004, 10:00 PM

I endorse irfanview - very powerful and *free* graphics program and confirm that converting and saving in the various formats work for Win 98SE.

For Linux, I'd also recommend The Gimp, close to the power of Photoshop and like most Linux progs, is free.

GIMP... Painful to install on Windows...

GenghisK · Feb 08, 2004, 03:51 AM

You kidding! It goes smoothly. And you have to install GTK, that's all...

Gingerbread Man · Feb 08, 2004, 03:57 AM

Yeah, the GIMP was a pain to install, but I did it, and it filled me in until I got Macromedia Fireworks from the school for cheap.

Eastern Knight · Feb 08, 2004, 05:10 AM

Just use Paint.

Achinz · Feb 08, 2004, 06:14 PM

I agree with GenghisK - Gimp install was a breeze with Mandrake 9.1 - completely transparent through the Control Centre.
