About this tool

PNG offers the same pixel fidelity as BMP but adds sensible lossless compression, so the file typically becomes significantly smaller with no visible change. That makes PNG a better home for BMP screenshots, diagrams, and graphics you want to keep exact. This converter reads the BMP in the browser and writes a PNG copy, preserving every pixel of the source. Standard BMPs have no alpha channel, so the PNG output will not gain transparency. Processing happens locally, one file at a time, up to roughly 25MB.

FAQ

More about this tool

How it works

  1. Select a BMP file to convert.
  2. The browser encodes the bitmap losslessly as PNG.
  3. Download the resulting PNG to your device.

Features

  • Lossless throughout — The PNG matches the BMP pixel for pixel.
  • Smaller than the BMP — PNG's lossless compression usually cuts file size noticeably.
  • No new transparency — Standard BMPs are opaque, and the PNG output reflects that.
  • On-device — The BMP never leaves your browser.
  • One at a time — Handle a single file per conversion, capped near 25MB.

Supported formats

Input: BMP. Output: PNG.

Common uses

  • Screenshots from legacy tools — BMP-based screenshot exports become portable PNGs.
  • Diagrams and UI graphics — Keep sharp-edged content crisp while reducing file size.
  • Long-term storage — Archive lossless images in a format most tools still support natively.

Limitations

  • No transparency is created — standard BMPs are fully opaque.
  • Very large BMP scans may exceed the ~25MB per-file limit.
  • One file at a time.
  • PNG is still bulkier than lossy formats like JPG or WebP.
