BMP (Bitmap) is an uncompressed image format developed by Microsoft. It's widely supported by Windows applications and older software systems. BMP files store pixel data without compression, resulting in larger file sizes compared to formats like PNG.

Why convert PNG to BMP?

Convert PNG to BMP when you need compatibility with Windows applications, older software that doesn't support PNG, legacy systems, or specific software requirements. BMP format is universally supported by Windows-based applications.

Will I lose image quality?

No, you won't lose image quality when converting from PNG to BMP. Both formats support lossless conversion. However, BMP files will be larger due to lack of compression, and transparency information from PNG may not be preserved.

What about file size?

BMP files are typically larger than PNG files because BMP is an uncompressed format. The exact size increase depends on the image dimensions and color depth. For large images, the file size difference can be significant.

Does BMP support transparency?

Standard BMP format doesn't support transparency like PNG does. If your PNG image has transparent areas, they will be converted to a solid color (usually white or black) in the BMP format.

Yes! All image conversion happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your PNG images are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security for your sensitive images. The entire conversion process takes place locally on your device.

Can I convert multiple PNG files at once?

Currently, the tool converts one PNG file at a time. For multiple files, you can convert them one by one. Each conversion is independent and generates a separate BMP file.
