Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I convert to BMP?

Main reasons: legacy Windows software compatibility, MS Paint editing, or systems that specifically require uncompressed bitmap format. For modern use, PNG or JPG are better choices.

Why do BMP files become so large?

BMP is uncompressed, storing every pixel's color data without compression. A small JPG might become 20-30x larger as BMP.

Will quality improve converting to BMP?

No. You cannot recover quality lost in compressed formats by converting to BMP. BMP simply stores the existing data in uncompressed format.

What formats can be converted to BMP?
