BMP is an old Windows format that stores images without compression, so even a simple screenshot can be several megabytes. Converting to JPG usually makes the file 10 to 20 times smaller, ready to email or upload.
There is rarely a reason to keep BMP, except for old software or devices that only read BMP. For graphics with sharp edges consider BMP to PNG instead.
BMP is a simple image format from Windows that usually stores pixels with little or no compression, so files are large compared with JPG, PNG or WebP. It is rarely used on the web, and converting a BMP is the easiest way to make it small enough to share.
More BMP conversionsJPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used format for photographs. It uses lossy compression, which keeps files small by discarding fine detail the eye is unlikely to miss. It does not support transparency or animation, and virtually every device, browser and app can open it.

Most BMP files are uncompressed: every pixel is stored in full. JPG and PNG compress the same image dramatically.
JPG for photos and scans, PNG for screenshots, drawings and anything with text.

Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark. To keep the service available for everyone there is a 95MB limit per file and a cap on how many files one connection can process in a short period.
Your upload is used only to make the converted file. Images are processed in memory; other files are written to a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes. Nothing is kept after the result has been sent back.
For images, a little, by design: the image is re-encoded at the Quality you choose (default 75%). Audio and video are re-encoded with high-quality settings; documents keep their text and layout as far as the target format allows. Converting never restores detail that is already missing from the original.
