What is BMP to PNG Converter?

BMP (Bitmap) is an old uncompressed image format developed by Microsoft. It stores every pixel without compression, resulting in massive file sizes. A 5MB photo in PNG could be 50-100MB as a BMP file. BMP is rarely used today due to its inefficiency, but many older programs and scanners still output BMP files.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a modern format that uses lossless compression to dramatically reduce file size while maintaining perfect quality. A BMP to PNG converter transforms large, uncompressed BMP files into efficient PNG format, reducing file size by 70-90% with zero quality loss. PNG also supports transparency, making it ideal for web graphics and logos.

PNG also supports transparency, making it ideal for web graphics, logos, and images that need transparent backgrounds.

Will I lose quality when converting BMP to PNG?
