How much smaller will the JPG be than my BMP?

Dramatically — BMP stores every pixel uncompressed, so a 10–20× reduction at high JPG quality is normal for photographic content. A 12 MB BMP photo typically becomes well under 1 MB.

Where do BMP files usually come from?

Legacy Windows sources: MS Paint saves, old scanner software, screenshots from older systems, and industrial or medical equipment that never updated its export format. The format works but wastes enormous space.

Is any quality lost converting BMP to JPG?

JPG is lossy, so technically yes — but at quality 90+ the difference is invisible for photos. If the BMP contains sharp graphics, text, or screenshots and must stay pixel-perfect, convert to PNG instead; it's still far smaller than BMP.
