Convert PNG to BMP Online
BMP is a legacy uncompressed raster format still required by some Windows applications, embedded systems, and older software that does not support modern formats. When you need a BMP file — for printing systems, embedded hardware displays, certain CAD tools, or legacy Windows software — this tool converts your PNG to BMP directly in the browser. The output is an uncompressed BMP file with full colour depth. Keep in mind that BMP files are significantly larger than PNG files since they store every pixel without compression.

FAQ
- Why would I need a BMP file?
- BMP is required by some legacy Windows applications, embedded system firmware, certain printing software, and older CAD or imaging tools that do not support PNG or JPEG.
- Will transparency be preserved in BMP?
- Standard 24-bit BMP does not support transparency. Transparent pixels in the PNG are converted to a solid background (white by default).
- Why is the BMP file so much larger than the PNG?
- BMP is uncompressed — every pixel is stored as raw data with no compression. PNG uses lossless compression to reduce size, which is why PNGs are much smaller.
