What is PNG to BMP Converter?
PNG to BMP Converter turns PNG images into BMP bitmap files for older software, Windows resources, embedded displays, and workflows that expect simple bitmap input. BMP stores decoded pixels without modern compression, so output can be larger than the PNG source. The tool decodes the PNG in the browser and exports a BMP copy.
How does PNG to BMP Converter work?
This tool decodes the PNG source, draws it to canvas, and writes a BMP output file. BMP does not preserve PNG alpha transparency in the same way, so transparent areas are flattened during conversion.

Common Use Cases
Legacy software compatibility
Convert PNG images to BMP for use in older applications that do not support PNG format.
Embedded systems
Generate BMP files from PNG images for hardware displays that require raw bitmap data.
Image processing input
Prepare PNG images as BMP files for processing tools that require uncompressed input.
Windows application resources
Convert PNG assets to BMP for legacy Windows applications that use bitmap resources.
How to Use This Tool
Upload an image
Drag and drop a PNG file or select one from your device.
Convert
Click Convert. The tool processes the image and generates a BMP file.
Download
Save the converted BMP image to your device.
Pro Tips
- 1
BMP files are uncompressed and will be larger than the PNG source.
- 2
PNG transparency is not preserved in BMP format, as BMP does not support alpha channels.
- 3
Use BMP when you need exact pixel data without any compression overhead.
- 4
For a smaller output, consider keeping the PNG format or converting to JPG.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the quality change?
No. BMP is uncompressed, so every pixel from the PNG source is preserved exactly. There is no quality loss.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The PNG is decoded, converted, and exported in the browser.
What is the maximum file size?
The tool supports images up to 50MB. Since BMP is uncompressed, the output file may be large.
Does BMP support transparency?
No. Transparent pixels in the PNG will be flattened against a solid background color.
Can I convert multiple images at once?
Yes. Upload multiple files and the tool converts all of them.
