Check what your BMP actually is first
JPG is the right answer for a photograph, and often the wrong one for anything else. Most files that arrive as BMP are not photographs.
BMP tends to come out of screen-capture tools, scanners and older Windows software, which means the picture is usually a screenshot, a scanned page or a diagram. Those are full of hard edges and lettering, and hard edges are exactly where lossy compression shows — text picks up a faint fuzz around it that was not there before.
For those, converting to PNG shrinks the file enormously as well, and keeps every pixel exactly as it was. Come back here when the image really is a photograph: then JPG gets it smaller still and you will not see the difference.
Questions people ask
Dramatically smaller — this is the largest drop of any conversion here. A BMP stores every dot with nothing squeezed out, so almost anything is an improvement, and JPG compresses harder than most. A folder of BMPs converted in one go usually comes back a small fraction of what it was.
Very possibly, and it is worth thirty seconds of thought. If the picture is a screenshot, a scan, a diagram or anything with text, PNG will also shrink it enormously and will keep every pixel exactly as it is. JPG is the better answer only when the image is a photograph.
On a photograph, not at normal viewing size. On text or a diagram, possibly — lossy compression softens hard edges, and lettering is where that shows first. That is the whole reason to send those images to PNG rather than here.
Because it predates the formats that replaced it, or because BMP is trivially simple to write. Scanners, screen-capture utilities and older Windows programs all still emit it. The format works perfectly well; it simply comes from a time when disk space mattered less than simplicity.
Yes, and it is where this conversion earns its keep. Drop in as many as you like; they queue together and come back as a single .zip that will be a great deal lighter than the originals.
