Convert BMP Files

BMP (standing for Bitmap Image File) is an uncompressed raster graphics format which contains a file header (where the width, height, bitmap identifier or the color options are stored) and differently colored bitmap pixels.

When having to convert their BMP images, users will need to consider that this type of image can feature various levels of color depths per pixel, therefore one can configure many of its settings.

The main reason for converting BMP image files to other formats is that they are very large in size and are not suitable for data transfer over the Internet with slow types of connections.

PNG or JPEG are some of the more suitable formats for data exchanges and they will often be the preferred destination formats during BMP conversions.
