Convert PNG images to BMP format with high quality and customizable color depth. Free, easy, and quick conversion tool.
Some older software and systems work better with BMP files. Converting from PNG to BMP ensures maximum compatibility.
BMP files store raw pixel data without compression, making them ideal for certain image editing tasks and analysis.
Certain hardware devices and embedded systems require BMP format for display or processing images.
Click the upload button or drag and drop your PNG file into the designated area.
Choose your desired resolution and color depth. The default settings work well for most images.
Click the 'Convert to BMP' button and wait for the conversion process to complete.
Once conversion is finished, click the 'Download BMP' button to save your converted file.

BMP (Bitmap) is an uncompressed raster image format that stores image data pixel by pixel. It's one of the oldest image formats and is compatible with almost all image viewing and editing software.
BMP files store image data without compression, recording color information for each pixel separately. This raw storage approach preserves perfect quality but results in significantly larger file sizes compared to compressed formats like PNG or JPEG.
BMP is useful for compatibility with legacy systems, certain printing applications, or when you need uncompressed raw pixel data. For most web and general use cases, PNG is preferred due to its better compression and transparency support.
For most purposes, 24-bit (16.7 million colors) is recommended for full-color images. Use 32-bit if you need alpha channel transparency. Lower bit depths (1, 4, 8) can be used to create smaller files but will reduce color quality.
Only 32-bit BMP files can support an alpha channel for transparency. However, not all applications recognize transparency in BMP files, making PNG a more reliable choice when transparency is required.
