About PNG to BMP
Convert PNG to BMP
PNG to BMP converts PNG files to BMP. PNG is a lossless raster format that supports full transparency. It suits screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges, but photographs make large PNG files. BMP is an old, usually uncompressed Windows bitmap format, so files are very large.

Good to know: PNG to BMP
Differences between the two formats that affect the result.
01
BMP files are uncompressed and can be many times larger than the source image. Images larger than 1,024 pixels are scaled down to fit.
02
BMP cannot store transparency, so transparent areas in the PNG are filled with a solid background. If you need to keep a see-through background, choose PNG or WebP instead.

FAQs for PNG to BMP
Common answers so you can keep moving.
What is the difference between PNG and BMP?
PNG is a lossless raster format that supports full transparency. It suits screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges, but photographs make large PNG files. BMP is an old, usually uncompressed Windows bitmap format, so files are very large.
Will converting PNG to BMP change quality?
BMP files are uncompressed and can be many times larger than the source image. Images larger than 1,024 pixels are scaled down to fit.
Is my PNG file uploaded to a server?
This conversion runs on ToolzStack servers: your file is uploaded over HTTPS, converted, and kept only so that you can download the result. An automated cleanup job then deletes it (see the Privacy Policy for the current retention period).
What happens to transparent areas?
BMP has no transparency, so transparent pixels are filled with white. Use PNG or WebP to keep transparency.
My PNG file will not convert
Make sure the file really is PNG (renaming an extension does not change the format) and that it opens correctly on your device. Password-protected, DRM-protected or corrupted files are rejected. If the file is very large, try again with a smaller one.
