BMP to PNG

RUNS ON THIS DEVICE

PNG stores the same pixels as your BMP, losslessly, in far less space. The conversion runs entirely on your device.

Same pixels, sensible file size

BMP and PNG are both lossless, which makes this the rare conversion with no trade-off at all: the PNG contains exactly the pixels the BMP did, usually at a dramatically smaller size, because PNG actually compresses its data while most BMPs store raw bytes. Screenshots, scanned documents, and graphics exported by older Windows programs all benefit — you keep perfect fidelity and lose the bulk.

How it works on your device

The browser’s native bitmap decoder reads each BMP inside a Web Worker, and the PNG encoder writes it back out at the original dimensions. There is no quality setting to worry about because nothing lossy happens at any stage. The whole pipeline runs in your browser tab: no upload, no server queue, no account, and no limit on how many files you convert in a sitting.

Each finished file lists its original and converted size, and batches download together as a ZIP.

PNG vs JPG for BMP sources

Choose PNG when the content is a screenshot, diagram, document scan you may re-edit, or anything with sharp text — lossless compression keeps every edge intact. Choose JPG when the content is a photograph and the priority is the smallest possible file for email or the web. If you are unsure, PNG is the safe default: you can always produce a JPG from it later without going back to the BMP.

Frequently asked questions

Is BMP to PNG really lossless?

Yes. Both formats store exact pixels; PNG just compresses them efficiently. The converted image is pixel-for-pixel identical to the BMP.

How much smaller will the PNG be?

It depends on the content, but because most BMPs are uncompressed, reductions of 50–90% are common — screenshots and flat graphics compress especially well.

Are my files uploaded to convert them?

No. Decoding and encoding happen in your browser using its built-in codecs. Your images stay on your device from drop to download.

Can I batch-convert a folder of BMPs?

Yes — add them all at once, let the queue run, and download everything as a single ZIP when it finishes.
