You dont need special software, you can convert bitmaps to jpegs in MS paint, just load it into the relativly crapy program and click save as and change the type to 24-bit bitmap. The will be no loss of accuracy by using paint, you will end up with the same quality as a 500 pound copy of photoshop

Firstly,the facts :
BMP: The Bitmap file format is used for bitmap graphics on the Windows platform only. Unlike other file formats the BMP format stores image data from bottom to top and pixels in blue/green/red order. Compression of BMP files is not supported, so they are usually very large.
JPEG: JPG (JPEG) supports 24 bits of color information, and is most commonly used for photographs and similar continuous-tone bitmap images. The JPEG file format stores all of the color information in an RGB image. JPEG was designed so that changes made to the original image during conversion to JPEG would not be visible to the human eye. Most imaging applications let you control the amount of lossy compression performed on an image, so you can trade off image quality for smaller file size and vice versa. Be aware that the chances of degrading your image when converting it to JPEG increase proportionally with the amount of compression you use.
Simple renaming the extension from BMP to JPG is not a way to change this different formats.
Secondly, the solution:
Faststone Photo Resizer - it will do batch conversions too.Freeware-

Yes! Click on "save as" and then select the image type from drop-down menu. You can do this with pretty much all types of image-viewing software (eg coreldraw, paintshop pro, even really basic ones like microsoft paint).

Yes, you can convert a .bmp to a .jpg if you have something like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. Personally, I would convert it to a .gif instead. The rule of thumb is, if you can draw it with a crayon, make it a .gif, if not, .jpg.
If you dont have either, you can go to their web sites and download a 30 day trial version

Personally, I use the Paint program with Windows. Just open your .bmp and then file/save as...
.jpg will be one of the choices!
