PNG to BMP — Convert to Uncompressed Windows Bitmap
Convert PNG to BMP for older Windows applications, printer drivers, embedded systems, and any workflow that specifically requires uncompressed bitmap data.
BMP is uncompressed
A BMP stores every pixel as-is. Files are huge but the format is universally supported by any Windows-era app and easy for embedded code to parse.
When you need BMP
Splash screens for older Windows apps, legacy print drivers, some game engines and embedded devices that expect BMP specifically.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big will the output be?
For a 1920×1080 image, roughly 6 MB regardless of content. That's the cost of no compression.
Is transparency preserved?
Standard BMP has no alpha channel. Transparent areas become white.
Can most modern software open BMP?
Yes — universal support. It's just inefficient for storage or sharing.
