BMP vs JPG
BMP files store every pixel uncompressed, so they’re enormous. JPG shrinks them dramatically, which makes them practical to email or upload.

About the two formats
BMP
BMP stores every pixel with no compression at all, so even simple images take megabytes. It’s mostly found in old software, scanners and exports.
JPG
JPG is the default format for photos. It throws away detail the eye barely notices to keep files small, and every device made in the last 30 years can open it.

Why are BMP files so big?
BMP usually stores every pixel with no compression, so a single photo can take many megabytes.
