PNG to BMP

Convert a PNG image into an uncompressed 24-bit BMP file, the raw bitmap format some older Windows software and legacy print or embedded workflows specifically require. The file will be considerably larger than the PNG, since BMP stores every pixel uncompressed.

Frequently asked questions

Why would I need BMP instead of PNG?

Some older Windows applications, embedded systems, and legacy print workflows specifically require the uncompressed BMP format for file intake.

What happens to transparent areas?

Classic 24-bit BMP has no transparency support, so any transparent areas in your PNG are filled with white.

Will the BMP file be much larger?

Yes, often significantly, since BMP does not compress pixel data the way PNG does.
