About BMP to PNG Converter

What is a BMP to PNG converter?

BMP stores pixels raw, with essentially no compression — which is why a modest image out of Windows Paint, a scanner, or an old piece of industrial or medical software can run to tens of megabytes. PNG stores exactly the same pixels using lossless compression. The conversion is mathematically reversible: nothing at all is thrown away, the file just stops wasting space.

How to convert

Add up to 15 BMP files (5MB each) and click Convert — PNG is already selected. Compare the size figures in the results list; a five-to-one or ten-to-one reduction is routine. Download each file or take the batch as a ZIP.

Tips

This is the rare conversion with no quality trade-off whatsoever, so there is no reason to keep the BMP once you have the PNG — the two are pixel-identical. It is the safest way to deal with a folder of oversized BMPs from a scanner or legacy application. The one thing to watch is the 5MB per-file cap here, which uncompressed BMPs hit surprisingly quickly; if your files exceed it, reduce the dimensions first. If the image is a photograph and the file still needs to be smaller, convert to JPG or WebP afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my BMP file so much bigger than the PNG output?

BMP typically stores pixel data uncompressed, while PNG compresses it losslessly. It's common to see PNG files 5–10x smaller than the source BMP with zero quality loss.

Is BMP to PNG conversion lossless?

Yes. Every pixel is copied exactly — PNG's compression doesn't discard any image data, unlike JPG.

Why would I still have a BMP file today?

BMP is common in older Windows software, some scanning/imaging equipment, and legacy screenshots. Converting to PNG makes the file far more portable for modern web and design tools.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser.
