Why convert BMP to JXL?

BMP (Bitmap) — Uncompressed Microsoft format. Very large files, rarely used on the web. Often encountered in legacy Windows contexts.

JXL (JPEG XL) — Official JPEG successor. Superior compression, performant lossless mode, and reversible conversion from existing JPG files.

Converting BMP to JXL typically reduces file size while preserving a visual quality close to the original. This conversion significantly cuts file size — ideal for the web.
