BMP to PNG Converter

Convert BMP images to PNG in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

WebP, PNG, JPG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, AVIF, SVG or ICO, one or many. Drop them here or paste with ⌘V / Ctrl+V. Choose what each becomes on its row.

Runs on your device. Images are read and converted in your browser and aren't uploaded.

BMP

  • Uncompressed
  • Windows
  • Big files

Windows' plain bitmap: every pixel stored as it is, with no compression, so files are big and predictable. Paint, older Windows software and some machines and embedded displays still expect BMP. The usual 24-bit kind has no transparency; 32-bit can carry it.

PNG

  • Lossless
  • Transparency
  • Screenshots and graphics

The lossless format for screenshots, logos, icons and anything with text or sharp edges. PNG keeps every pixel exactly and has full transparency, so it's what editors and design tools trade in — but a photo as PNG is usually several times bigger than a JPG.

When you'd do this

You want BMPs — screenshots, icons, sprites, Paint drawings or exports from old software — in a lossless format the web, editors and documents handle, without losing a pixel.

What to expect

Every opaque pixel is kept exactly. A 24-bit BMP's size is fixed by its pixels — about 35 MB for a 4032 × 3024 photo, 5.9 MB for a 1920 × 1080 screenshot — and the PNG compresses the same pixels without loss. Screenshots and drawings with flat colour shrink the most.

Recommended settings

Nothing to set: PNG is lossless. Resize is there if you want fewer pixels, but keep sprites and pixel art at their original size so their edges stay crisp.

Where it opens

Every browser, editor, office suite, design tool and device — and, unlike BMP, web pages and most upload forms.

Good to know

  • If a BMP uses a layout your browser can't read — some very old ones do — its row says so rather than making a broken PNG.
  • It won't sharpen or enlarge a small bitmap: Resize only ever scales down.
  • Metadata is removed, though BMPs rarely carry any.

How to do it

  1. Choose your BMP files, or drop or paste them on the page — as many as you like.
  2. Each is set to PNG. Change one on its own row if you like, and set Resize in Settings.
  3. Convert all, then download each PNG, or all of them in one .zip.

Questions

Is BMP to PNG lossless?
Yes. The PNG holds the BMP's pixels, just compressed: every opaque pixel exactly.
How much smaller is PNG than BMP?
It depends on the image: flat-colour screenshots and drawings shrink to a small fraction, photos less. Each row shows the change.
Can I convert many BMPs at once?
Yes. Add them all, press Convert all, and download the PNGs in one .zip.
