Bmp to jpg/png in C#

Is there any way to convert a bmp image to jpg/png without losing the quality in C#? Using Image class we can convert bmp to jpg but the quality of output image is very poor. Can we gain the quality level as good as an image converted to jpg using photoshop with highest quality?

var qualityEncoder = Encoder.Quality;
var quality = (long)<desired quality>;
var ratio = new EncoderParameter(qualityEncoder, quality );
var codecParams = new EncoderParameters(1);
codecParams.Param[0] = ratio;
var jpegCodecInfo = <one of the codec infos from ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders() with mime type = "image/jpeg">;
bmp.Save(fileName, jpegCodecInfo, codecParams); // Save to JPG

Fundamentally you won't be able to keep the same quality because jpg is (so far as I'm aware) always lossy even with the highest possible quality settings.

If bit-accurate quality is really important, consider using png, which has some modes which are lossless.

Just want to say that JPEG is by nature a lossy format. So in thoery even at the highest settings you are going to have some information loss, but it depends a lot on the image.But png is lossless.

You can try:

Bitmap.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;

and

Bitmap.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;

Which does keep the quality fairly high, but not the highest possible.
