How to convert PNG to BMP

1

Add your PNG files

Drop one or more PNG files onto the page, or choose them from your device.

2

Check the BMP settings

BMP cannot be transparent, so any see-through areas are filled with the background colour you choose (white by default). BMP does not discard any detail, so there is no quality setting. The file can be larger than the PNG.

3

Convert and download

Press Convert, then download each BMP file, or all of them as a ZIP.

About PNG and BMP

PNG (PNG image). PNG keeps every pixel exactly as it is and supports transparent backgrounds. The files are larger than JPG for photos, but text, logos and screenshots stay perfectly sharp. It is best for logos, screenshots, graphics and pictures that need a transparent background.

BMP (BMP image). BMP is the simple bitmap format of Windows. It stores raw pixels with no compression, so the files are large, but almost any program can read them. It is best for older software and programs that only accept plain bitmaps.
