Why BMP files are so big

BMP stores every pixel with no compression. A full-HD screenshot as BMP is around 6 MB; as a JPG it's usually a few hundred kilobytes.

You'll mostly find BMPs from old versions of Paint, scanners and some industrial or medical software. Most websites and email services handle JPG far better.

For screenshots with sharp text, PNG keeps the edges crisper than JPG. Pick PNG above the drop box if that matters.
