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.
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.
