Common BMP Conversions
BMP is an uncompressed raster graphics image format used to store bitmap digital images. It offers high quality but large file sizes.
Uncompressed Quality
BMP files store pixel data without compression, ensuring maximum quality.
Wide Compatibility
BMP has been around for decades and is supported by almost all image editing software.
Simple Format
The simple structure of BMP makes it easy to read and write programmatically.
Complete Guide to BMP Conversion
BMP is a legacy Windows format that stores images with minimal or no compression. While rarely used for modern web delivery, BMP conversion is essential when working with legacy software, industrial equipment, or specialized systems that require uncompressed bitmap input. Converting TO BMP preserves every pixel exactly - useful when other software will do further processing.
How to Convert to BMP
Upload your image
Drag and drop any image file. Even highly compressed JPGs can be converted to BMP - though lost quality can't be recovered.
Select BMP output
Choose BMP from the format options. Note that transparency will be flattened to a solid background color since standard BMP doesn't support alpha channels.
Choose bit depth
24-bit is standard for full color. 8-bit works for simple graphics with limited colors. Some legacy systems may require specific bit depths.
Download your BMP
Your uncompressed BMP is ready. Be aware that file sizes will be dramatically larger than compressed formats - a 1MB JPG might become a 15MB BMP.
Pro Tips for BMP Conversion
- 💡Only convert to BMP when required by specific software or hardware - otherwise use PNG for lossless quality
- 💡BMP files load quickly despite their size because there's no decompression step
- 💡Windows 3.x era programs often require BMP - it's the only format they understand
- 💡Some industrial scanners and medical imaging equipment output only BMP
- 💡For maximum compatibility with ancient software, use 24-bit uncompressed BMP with no color profile
BMP is Ideal For
- ✓Legacy Windows applications that only accept BMP
- ✓Industrial control systems and embedded devices
- ✓Scientific imaging software with specific format requirements
- ✓Creating Windows 95-era compatible content
- ✓Source material for programs that will apply their own compression
Technical Details
BMP stores pixel data in a device-independent format with a file header, info header, optional color palette, and raw pixel array. Supports 1-bit to 32-bit color depths. RLE compression is optional but rarely used. Data is typically stored bottom-up (last row first).
