Why Convert BMP to PNG?

Converting BMP files to PNG can be beneficial for several reasons:

  • File Size Reduction (Often): PNG uses lossless compression, which can often result in smaller file sizes compared to uncompressed BMPs, especially for images with large areas of flat color or repeating patterns, without any loss of quality.
  • Transparency Support: PNG fully supports an alpha channel for true transparency. If your source BMP is a 32-bit file with alpha information, converting to PNG will preserve this transparency, which is ideal for web graphics, logos, and overlays.
  • Web Standard: PNG is a widely supported and recommended format for lossless images on the web.
  • Better for Graphics & Text: PNG excels at rendering sharp lines, text, and graphics clearly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of BMP files are supported for PNG conversion?

This tool primarily supports uncompressed 24-bit (RGB) and 32-bit (BGRA/RGBA with alpha channel) BMP files. These are the most common variants.

Will transparency be preserved when converting from BMP to PNG?

If your source BMP is a 32-bit file that includes an alpha channel for transparency, that transparency will be preserved in the output PNG. Standard 24-bit BMPs do not have transparency, so the resulting PNG will be opaque.

Will the PNG file be smaller than the BMP?

Usually, yes. PNG uses lossless compression, while common BMPs are uncompressed. This means PNG can store the same image data more efficiently, resulting in a smaller file size without any loss of visual quality.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No, all image parsing and conversion are performed directly in your web browser.
