About BMP format
BMP is an uncompressed raster image format native to Windows. It stores images pixel-by-pixel without compression, resulting in perfect quality but very large file sizes. BMP is useful for scenarios requiring raw image data or Windows application development, but is rarely used on the web.
Pros
- +No quality loss - stores raw pixel data
- +Simple format easy to process
- +Native Windows support
Cons
- -Very large file sizes
- -No compression options
- -Not suitable for web use
About JPEG format
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is identical to JPG - the different extension is simply a historical artifact from early file system limitations. Both formats use the same compression algorithm and produce identical results. JPEG remains the standard for digital photography and web images due to its excellent compression and universal support.
Pros
- +Identical to JPG with universal support
- +Efficient compression for photographs
- +Widely recognized file extension
Cons
- -Same limitations as JPG (lossy, no transparency)
- -Some older systems prefer .jpg extension
- -Quality loss with repeated editing
