About BMP

What is BMP (Bitmap)?

BMP is an uncompressed raster image format developed by Microsoft. Files are typically much larger than JPG or PNG because pixel data is stored verbatim with little to no compression.

Context

When to use BMP.

Best for

  • Legacy Windows workflows
  • Intermediate processing where compression artefacts must be avoided
  • Simple bitmap inputs to other tools

Strengths

  • simple bitmap storage

BMP is part of the image conversion surface in Converterer. These pages are useful when you need to balance compatibility, compression, transparency, quality, or workflow-specific image requirements.

Limitations

Very large file sizes make it impractical for web or general sharing.
