BMP (bitmap) files should be converted to another format when you wish to share them with others, either via web publishing or email. A 500kb BMP file can often easily be compressed down to as little as 15kb if you simply convert it to a jpeg/jpg.
Open MS Paint. You probably already have it installed if you are on a PC.
Open the image you wish to convert. Make sure it is a bmp.
Select "Save As" from the Edit menu.
When the dialog box opens, there will be a drop-down menu with a choice of file extensions. Simply choose JPEG, and press enter.
You are finished! Feel free to share your newly converted image.
