To change your bmp file to jpg, open the file in a photo editor and then
Save as and select JPG for file type.
You can also resize as given below.

A. To decrease the size of the file for e-mail, web publishing etc.

Once in your folder, double click on it to install it.
Once installed, you right click on a photo file (or on a group of selected
photo files).
Click on Resize image on the opening menu.
A window will open, select the size you want.
New files will be added in your folder, same name as original file but with

Hi, I scanned some old pictures of my grandmother recently that i only
had access to for a short period of time.The problem i now have is as
follows: I scanned 1 as both jpg amd bmp ant the other as just bmp. The jpg
is reading as 13mb in size and both the bmp files are reading as 396mb.These
sizes are crazy and i'm sure they wern't that big when i forst scanned them.
The only things that have changed on my pc is i've added a scsi drive (36?
gb added to my 9gb) and changed my monitor. Is there any way i can get
these pictures back to standard size??
