Picture files on a computer can exist in numerous forms. These various forms are known as file types and the file type you decide on depends upon your personal requirements. For example, text files are usually saved as either DOCX files (open with Microsoft Word) or PDF files (open with Adobe). A range of file types also exist for picture files. A couple of the most common file types meant for images are bitmap files (BMP) and JPG files (JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group). The main difference between BMP and JPG files is the size of the file. The file size depends upon a variety of components within the file. BMP files are uncompressed images which means that the image is viewed in a more ‘true' form. BMP files allocate a color to each pixel. This results in a much higher resolution as the image is better mapped. However, giving a particular color to each pixel restricts the image from having a lot of variety of color. BMP images also retain their quality after constant editing so they are preferable for image changes. JPG images are compressed files, which means they are smaller and easier for storage. The smaller file size also makes them preferable for uploading to the Internet as uploading a full BMP file demands much more time to incorporate the additional quality features. However, JPG files can feature roughly 16 million colors as opposed to the limited number produced in a BMP file. It isn't too difficult to imagine a scenario where conversion from BMP to JPG may be desirable. A professional photographer may wish to protect the coloration of their pictures, but a father capturing pictures of his child's birthday might want to change the images to JPG format so they occupy less space on the computer. This also makes is simpler and quicker to upload these files to social media sites like Facebook or Instagram. A short search online will reveal many SaaS (software as a service) sites offering to do file conversion. These websites permit a picture to be uploaded, converted, and then downloaded. A huge drawback to these programs is the frequent uploading and downloading. This adds a considerable amount of extra time to the conversion process. Also, a lot of sites merely allow for conversion of one file at a time. This results in problems for anyone with hundreds or thousands of pictures that require reformatting. Luckily, a quick search for ‘Convert BMP to JPG in batch' at www.hothotsoftware.com will bring up an amazing application for mass image file conversion. This program enables large numbers of image files to be changed from BMP to JPG format with only a handful of mouse clicks. After opening the program, you will discover that the entire program functions within a single window, alleviating any worries of getting lost or confused within the application. At the top of the window is a field that shows any files you are going to convert. Below this field is a button labeled ‘Add File(s)' that enables files to be added to the program. There is also the capacity for the software to seek images within a particular folder. Below the ‘Add File(s)' button are a few customization commands. You can specify a new file extension to be appended to the image after conversion (such as .new.jpg) and identify where the converted files should be saved. This may be on your computer or alternate location. Finally, the very bottom of the window has the command to begin the process. When the program starts it will convert your files and present a completion window when the program is finished.
