      BMP is an old, uncompressed Windows image format: pixel-exact but huge, because every pixel is stored in full. PNG stores the same pixels losslessly but compressed - usually a fraction of the size - and is opened by every program, browser and website.

      The BMP is decoded locally and exported as PNG; any alpha channel is preserved. Nothing is uploaded - the conversion runs entirely in the browser.

      BMP arose in the early days of Windows, when storage was budgeted generously and a simple, directly readable pixel store mattered more than small files. That very heritage makes BMP unwieldy today: its huge sizes get in the way when emailing or embedding on a website. PNG appeared in the late 1990s as a free, compressed successor and has been at home on every platform since - so you merely swap the uncompressed container for a modern, equally lossless format, with nothing changing about your pixels.

      In 3 steps

      1. Drop or tap your BMP file.
      2. The tool exports lossless PNG.
      3. Download the PNG - with no upload.

      Limitations: PNG is lossless - no detail is lost, but for photos the file stays larger than a JPG. Very large BMP can use a lot of memory on mobile devices.

      FAQ

      Are my images uploaded?

      No. The conversion runs entirely in the browser - even in airplane mode.

      Does quality get worse?

      No, PNG is lossless. The pixels stay identical to the BMP.

      How much smaller is the file?

      Often much smaller, because BMP is uncompressed and PNG compresses losslessly - it varies a lot by content. As a rule of thumb: an uncompressed 24-bit BMP needs exactly 3 bytes per pixel, so a 4000x3000-pixel photo needs about 36 MB.

      Several files at once?

      Yes, download individually or as a ZIP.
