How do you change BMP files to JPG.

There are a number of free programs. Two of the best are Irfanview and XnView. A Google search will take you to a site for d/l. Solarian

willy33, You can use just about any simple photo editing application (there must be thousands I suppose?) to do this. Since you have Windows XP you have paint and you can do it with paint. So, open paint, navigate to the bmp that is saved on your computer, click file, save as, and at the bottom of the pop up window click the drop down menu to the right of "save as type," and save it as a jpeg. Above the "save as type" is "file name," where you can change the name (which I would advise), and at the very top of the pop up window "Save In" is where you can choose where to save the file (I would advise "desktop" to make it easy. There are other programs that allow you to adjust the "jpeg quality factor." That way you can control how big the size of the file is and how good the jpeg looks, but to start out and probably for what you want, paint will work out fine. You will have a quality jpeg and it will be a MUCH smaller file size than the bmp. James.

Willy33, a new version of XnView was released yesterday. It's true you can use MS Paint for the conversion, but if you have a large number of files, XnView is much faster. XnView download
