BMP to PNG Converter

What is BMP?

BMP (Bitmap) is a raster graphics image format that stores every pixel as an exact match in the file. It is uncompressed, which means BMP files are often large, but it is excellent for retaining the exact detail of an image.

Why Convert BMP to PNG?

• Reduce File Size: BMP files can be quite large, especially when dealing with high quality images. PNG offers lossless compression, which can reduce the file size without compromising quality.
  
• Transparency Support: PNG supports transparency, making it ideal for graphics, logos, and web images, while BMP does not.
  
• Wider Compatibility: PNG is more commonly supported across web platforms and software compared to BMP, making it a better option for web use.
