BMP Converter
Convert any image to BMP in your browser. You get an uncompressed 24-bit BMP, or 32-bit with alpha when the image has transparency. BMP is best for legacy software and embedded systems that require it. Batch convert any number of files; nothing is uploaded.

Fast batch conversion
Several files are converted in parallel worker threads, with per-file progress and cancel.
Content-checked input
Files are identified by their bytes, not their name, so a mislabelled file still converts correctly.

About Convert to BMP
About BMP
BMP stores raw, uncompressed pixels. Files are huge but trivially simple, which is why some legacy Windows software, embedded displays and printers still ask for it.
A BMP is a 14-byte file header ('BM' and the offset to the pixels), a DIB header (40 bytes, or 108 and 124 bytes in the V4 and V5 versions that add colour masks and alpha), an optional palette, then pixel rows padded to 4 bytes and normally stored bottom-up.
Strengths: No compression artifacts; Read by very old and very simple software.
Drawbacks: Enormous files; Poor support for transparency; No metadata.

Frequently asked questions
Which apps open BMP files?
Every operating system and browser.
Which formats can I convert from?
Anything this site can read: JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF, SVG, TIFF, BMP, ICO, JPEG XL, PSD, RAW and more. Files are identified by their bytes, so a mislabelled file still converts.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Processing happens inside your browser with WebAssembly and Web Workers. The site only downloads the app code and codecs; your files never leave your device. You can confirm this with the live upload counter on the tool, or in your browser's network panel.
Can I process many files at once?
Yes. Drop a whole selection or folder. Files are processed in parallel on several worker threads, each result can be downloaded on its own, and everything can be saved as one ZIP.
Is it free? Is there a file limit or watermark?
It is free with no account, no watermark and no daily limit. The only limit is your device's memory: very large images (over roughly 100 megapixels) may be refused to keep the tab from crashing.
