Why convert PNG to BMP?

For photographs it is much larger than a JPG or a WebP. As a BMP old software and devices that know nothing about compression accept it.

About the formats

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.

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.

How to convert PNG to BMP

  1. 1Drop your PNG files in the box, paste them or pick them from your device.
  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 PNG uploaded to a server to turn it into BMP?

No. The PNG 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 PNG to BMP?

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

Do I lose quality converting PNG to BMP?

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

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 PNG files at once?

Yes. Drop as many PNG 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.
