What this tool does

Move a classic bitmap image into a common web format, or prepare a BMP for software that expects that file type. BMP-to-PNG mode reads uncompressed Windows bitmap rows with either bottom-up or top-down storage. The reverse mode creates a standard 24-bit BMP with padded rows and a white background for transparent source pixels.

Supported formats and limits

Supported BMP input uses a Windows DIB header, BI_RGB compression and 24 or 32 bits per pixel. Indexed palettes, bitfields, RLE and other BMP variants are rejected. The reserved fourth byte in BI_RGB 32-bit files is treated as opaque rather than interpreted as alpha. Source images and output are limited to 4 MiB and 16 million pixels. BMP files are uncompressed and can be much larger than their PNG or JPEG sources.

What should I check before using the result?

Supported BMP input uses a Windows DIB header, BI_RGB compression and 24 or 32 bits per pixel.

Is input uploaded?

This tool sends input to this site’s conversion API after you select Convert on server. Files use bounded workers and, when needed, private temporary folders deleted after processing or cancellation. No conversion history is saved. The converter does not upload files to a third-party conversion service.
