How does one save a photo file to a .bmp or.... change a .jpg to a .bmp on a MacBook Pro? All searches on Google are inaccurate. 🤬

macOS 13.5.2, Ventura

Thanks…Dan

Just a related question just out of curiosity, but why change such files to a bitmap format?

I don't know if this solution would help or if it includes your Kenwood head unit model, but they suggest a method but I also noted they also said one must use a jeg format. Anyway, check it out if you like and maybe hopefully it will work for you:
