Why Convert PNG to BMP?

While PNG is a versatile format, converting to BMP might be necessary for:

  • Legacy Systems: Some older software or hardware might only support BMP files.
  • Uncompressed Data: If you need raw, uncompressed pixel data for specific image processing tasks or analysis.
  • Simple Archival: For a straightforward, uncompressed representation of an image, though PNG is often preferred for archival due to its lossless compression.
  • Specific Application Requirements: Certain niche applications or development environments might require BMP format.

Our tool ensures that transparency in your PNGs is handled by allowing you to specify a background color for the BMP output.

  • • **Client-Side Conversion:** All processing is done in your browser.

How to Convert PNG to BMP

  1. Upload PNG Files: Drag and drop your PNG images, or click to select files.
  2. Adjust Settings (Optional):
    • **Transparency:** Choose a background color that will replace any transparent areas in your PNGs. White is the default.
    • **Resize:** If needed, enable resizing and set new dimensions or a percentage.
    • **Naming:** Add a prefix or suffix for the output BMP filenames.
  3. Convert: Click the "Convert PNGs to BMP" button.
  4. Download: Download your converted BMP files. Be aware that BMP files are uncompressed and will likely be larger than your original PNGs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is transparency handled when converting PNG to BMP?

Standard 24-bit BMP files do not support transparency. Our tool requires you to select a background color (defaulting to white). Any transparent pixels in your source PNG will be filled with this chosen color in the output BMP.

Will my BMP file be larger than the original PNG?

Most likely, yes. PNG uses lossless compression, which makes files smaller without losing quality. BMP (24-bit) is typically uncompressed, storing raw pixel data. This means a BMP file will usually be larger than a PNG of the same dimensions and visual content.

What type of BMP files are created?

This tool generates 24-bit RGB (true color) BMP files, which is a widely compatible version of the format.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No, all image conversions are performed in your browser. Your files are not sent to any server.
