Why convert GIF to BMP?

Photos lose a lot of colour; here only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted. As a BMP old software and devices that know nothing about compression accept it.

About the formats

GIF, 256-colour images

GIF is a veteran format limited to 256 colours, with single-level transparency and animation.

Strengths: It works everywhere and suits simple drawings, icons and short animations.

Limits: Photos lose a lot of colour; here only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted.

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.

  2. 2Check that the target is BMP and open the options if you want to adjust it.
  3. 3Press “Convert” and download each BMP, or all of them in a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

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

No. The GIF to BMP 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.

What happens to a transparent background going from GIF to BMP?

BMP has no transparency: transparent areas of the GIF are filled with the colour you choose (white by default).

Do I lose quality converting GIF to BMP?

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

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 GIF files at once?

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