When I am saving pictures to my computer, do JPEG's take up more memory space than bitmaps?

Answer 1

No! jpeg's dont take more memory than bitmaps. jpegs are compressed pictures while bitmap (.bmp) filese occupy way more space/memory.

Answer 2

JPEGs take up much less room than Bitmaps. Most programs that save pictures as JPEGs will give you a quality or compression option. I often find that going as low as 50% quality makes no difference to the look of the picture but takes up even less room!

Answer 3

NO! Bitmaps actually take more space. The BMP file format has four (4) compression fields (bi_rgb, bi_rle4, bi_rle8 and bi_bitfields). The last has no compression.
JPEG is a better alternative for still images of photographic quality. It uses less space.

Answer 4

No, JPEGS take a lot less space than Bitmaps. JPEGs are compressed files whereas Bitmaps have no compression at all.

Answer 5

No, JPEGS's take less space. Why do you try it out. Save a picture as a JPEG and then as a BMP and see the size difference.

Answer 6

no, jpeg is compressed with matrix algorithm in mapping the picture, while bitmap is not, it just put one pixel color in one slot mapping (one slot has same size, 8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit, and soon, depend on the picture color quality).
but if you want smaller size with the same quality try:
gif or png, use any picture editor (like microsoft paint), use "save as" then chose the format.

Answer 7

Bitmaps or BMPs take up LOADS of space compared to JPG files

Answer 8

if bmp takes 2 mb
den jpeg takes only 20 kb
just imagine from here what ext. takes more space

Answer 9

no JPEG's take up less memory download winzip then you can compress and zip them

Answer 10

Should not, jpegs are compresssed when bmps are not,
