PNG to BMP converter features

This free online PNG to BMP converter includes the following controls and output tools:

  • Private browser conversion. The image is processed locally and is not uploaded.
  • Custom dimensions. Set an exact width and height, lock the aspect ratio, and prevent accidental enlargement.
  • Lossless output encoding. The visible decoded pixels are written without an additional lossy quality setting.
  • Before-and-after preview. Review the original and converted image, output dimensions, format, and file size.
  • File-size comparison. See the original and converted sizes and the percentage change.
  • Custom filename. Rename the converted file before downloading it.
  • Metadata-free export. The newly encoded BMP does not copy source metadata.

Why convert PNG to BMP?

BMP may be needed by older Windows applications and systems that require bitmap input.

PNG is usually much smaller and more portable, so keep it unless BMP compatibility is specifically required.

Transparency and file size

The 32-bit BMP includes alpha bytes, but transparency support varies across BMP-reading software.

The BMP is uncompressed and may be very large. A PNG copy is used only for the on-page preview.
