BMP to PNG

BMP files store pixels with little or no compression, so they are very large. Converting to PNG keeps the image lossless while cutting the file size substantially.

Why use BMP to PNG?

Images arrive in whichever format the camera, phone or app happened to produce, and that is rarely the format you need next. Converting and resizing lets you meet an upload limit, strip a format a website refuses, keep a transparent background where it matters, or cut a photo from several megabytes down to something an email will accept — without losing the original, which stays untouched on your device.

Your privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. The file you select is read into your device's memory, converted there and offered back as a download — it is never uploaded to our servers. Closing or reloading the page clears it. If you are signed in, we store only the tool name, the number of files and their total size so you can see your own activity history; the file contents are never sent.

Tips for the best result

  • Start from the highest-quality original you have; converting an already-compressed file twice loses detail.
  • If you need transparency, keep the output in PNG or WebP — JPG cannot store an alpha channel.
  • When resizing for the web, set the width you actually display at rather than shrinking a huge image in CSS.
  • Compress last, after cropping and resizing, so you are not re-encoding the same pixels repeatedly.

Frequently asked questions

Does the image lose quality?

No. PNG compression is lossless, so the pixels are identical to the source bitmap.

Why is BMP so large?

BMP generally stores each pixel uncompressed, which is simple but very inefficient.

Can I convert BMP to JPG instead?

Convert to PNG here, then use the PNG to JPG tool if you need a smaller lossy file.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser with JavaScript and WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device and nothing is uploaded to our servers.
