You don't have to buy or download anything.
In MS-Paint, click File > Save As and choose jpg as the file type.

And if you look at the scanner software, it's very possible that you can choose the format it saves them in.

Thanks,

My dropdown for Save has no jpg option, only bmps

Gimp is way over my 67 yr old head

My scanner software looks like space shuttle trajectories in Sanskrit

I had finepixviewer on a previous computer, but after installing in this one,
I cant get the feature which shows all my desktop photos together--thats
where I saved them to desktop and they became jpg's

Tile Print, although designed for scanning and printing plans, can convert dozens of file formats, including BMP and JPG.
