Why convert BMP to PNG?

It is huge: a photo in BMP takes ten times more space than in JPG. As a PNG the image stays lossless and keeps its transparency.

About the formats

BMP, the Windows bitmap

BMP stores pixels uncompressed, as-is, the way Windows has since its early versions.

Strengths: Very old software and devices that know nothing about compression can read it.

Limits: It is huge: a photo in BMP takes ten times more space than in JPG.

PNG, lossless images with transparency

PNG stores images losslessly: every pixel stays exactly the same, and it supports a transparent background.

Strengths: Great for screenshots, logos, charts and any image with text or sharp edges.

Limits: For photographs it is much larger than a JPG or a WebP.

  2. 2Check that the target is PNG and open the options if you want to adjust it.

Frequently asked questions

Is my BMP uploaded to a server to turn it into PNG?

No. The BMP to PNG conversion runs entirely in your browser, with code downloaded from this site and executed on your device. You can check it in the Network tab of the developer tools or by going offline after the page loads.

Do I lose quality converting BMP to PNG?

No: PNG stores the image losslessly, so it stays exactly as it was in the BMP.

Is there a size limit?

Your device’s memory sets the limit: on desktop, images up to about 100 megapixels; on mobile, up to 16.7. If an image is too large you are told before it starts.

Can I convert several BMP files at once?

Yes. Drop as many BMP files as you like: several are converted at the same time, depending on your processor cores, and when they finish you can download each PNG or all of them in a ZIP.
