How to convert PNG to BMP

  1. Drop your PNG files in the box above. You can also click the box to pick files, or paste them.
  2. Each file is converted to BMP on your own device. It usually takes a second or two.
  3. Download each file, or get them all in one zip. Every file keeps its name.

Why convert PNG to BMP?

Most people do this because something they are using will not accept PNG files.

BMP files are usually a little bigger than PNG, which is the price of wider support.

About the two formats

PNG: Keeps every detail sharp and supports transparent backgrounds. Works everywhere. The safe pick for logos, graphics and screenshots.

BMP: A plain Windows format with no compression. Files are big, but even very old programs can open them.

The whole conversion happens in your browser. Your file is unpacked into raw pixels and saved again as BMP. Nothing is sent to any server.

Common questions

Is the PNG to BMP converter free?

Yes, properly free. No paid tier, no trial, no watermark on the result and nothing to sign up for. Put as many files through it as you like, as often as you like.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The PNG to BMP converter runs inside your browser, on your own machine, so your files never go anywhere. Big ones are fine too, up to whatever your browser can hold.

Does converting PNG to BMP lose quality?

No. Both PNG and BMP store every pixel exactly as it was, so the picture that comes out is identical to the one that went in. Only the file size and what can open the file change.

Will the BMP file be smaller than the PNG?

No, expect it to grow somewhat. BMP doesn't compress as hard as PNG, which is the price of the wider support you're converting for. Compress it afterwards if the size matters.

Does converting PNG to BMP keep the date and location from the original?

No. The image is rebuilt pixel by pixel, so the camera model, the date and any GPS location in the original aren't carried into the BMP file. That cuts both ways: it strips information you may not want to share, and it loses information you may have wanted to keep. Check the original with the metadata viewer first if it matters.
