Why would I convert HEIC to BMP?

BMP format is useful for legacy software compatibility, scientific imaging, and applications that require uncompressed pixel data. While not common for web use, BMP ensures no quality loss during conversion.

Will the BMP file be larger than the HEIC?

Yes, significantly larger. BMP is an uncompressed format, so a 2MB HEIC file might become 20MB or more as BMP. This is normal and expected for lossless bitmap conversion.

Can I convert BMP back to HEIC?

While technically possible, it's not recommended. Once converted to BMP and back, you lose the efficiency benefits of HEIC. Always keep your original HEIC files.

Is HEIC to BMP conversion lossless?

The conversion process itself is lossless - no quality is lost going from HEIC to BMP. However, the original HEIC encoding is lossy, so the quality depends on the original photo.

Are my iPhone photos secure during conversion?

Absolutely. All photo processing happens locally in your browser. Your HEIC files never leave your device or get uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy for your personal photos.

What software can open BMP files?

BMP files can be opened by virtually any image viewer or editor including Windows Paint, Photoshop, GIMP, IrfanView, and most operating system default image viewers.
