Image Options
Choose a method if you want to resize the output image.
We will replace the transparent areas of your image with this color. Choose a color using the color picker or enter a hex color value. (eg. #FFFFFF)
Choose a compression method if you want to reduce the output file size.
Batch PNG to BMP Conversion
Upload multiple PNG images using Add More Files and convert them together. Add as many files as needed and process them in one conversion session. This is useful when several PNG images need to be changed to BMP without handling each file separately.
Advanced Settings
Adjust the BMP before conversion with options to resize by percentage, dimensions, width, or height and replace transparent areas with a selected background color. Choose a compression level, correct image orientation with Auto Orient, or remove profiles, EXIF data, and comments with Strip Metadata. These settings let you fine-tune the output without using another image tool.
Apply Settings to All Uploaded Images
After configuring the advanced options, you can apply the same settings to every uploaded PNG with Apply to All Files. This avoids repeating the same choices for each image. Use Reset All Options whenever you want to return the settings to their defaults.
Flexible Download Options
After conversion, choose how you want to save the results. Download individual BMP files when you only need selected images, or use the Download All option to save the complete batch together. This makes it easier to manage converted files after processing.
Simple to Use
The PNG to BMP converter has a straightforward workflow with clear options for uploading, adjusting settings, converting, and saving your images. You can complete the conversion in just a few simple steps without complicated image-editing controls. It works on different devices, so you can use the tool from a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Safe Image Processing
Your images are processed directly in your browser without requiring them to be uploaded to a server. This provides a more private way to convert PNG files, which can be useful when working with personal or confidential images.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my BMP file much larger than the original PNG?
PNG uses compression to store image data efficiently, while BMP files are generally less compact. It is therefore normal for the converted BMP to take up much more space even when the image dimensions stay exactly the same.
Why does my PNG with transparency look different as a BMP?
PNG can store transparent areas, while BMP does not handle transparency in the same way. Those areas need a visible background in the BMP, which can change the appearance of logos, icons, and graphics.
Why does a white box appear around my transparent logo?
The transparent area of your PNG has been replaced with a solid background during conversion. If white does not suit the logo, choose a background color that matches where you plan to use the BMP.
Why do the edges of my transparent image look different after conversion?
Soft edges around logos, text, and objects can contain partially transparent pixels. When these pixels meet the new background, they may look darker, lighter, or more noticeable than they did in the original PNG.
Why are the colors slightly different in my BMP?
PNG images can contain color-profile information that affects how colors are displayed. The software used to open the BMP may handle this information differently, which can result in small color changes.
Why does my converted BMP look blurry?
A BMP can look softer if the image was reduced in size during processing. Fine details such as small text, thin lines, and patterns are usually the first things to become less sharp.
Why do small text and thin lines look different after conversion?
Small details depend on the number of pixels available to represent them. When an image is reduced, very thin lines can become less visible, and small text can lose some of its definition.
Why does my image look stretched after conversion?
Changing the image's width and height to proportions different from the original can distort its appearance. This is most noticeable with faces, logos, circles, and other objects that should retain their original shape.
Why is my BMP rotated even though the PNG looked correct?
Some images contain orientation information that tells software how the picture should be displayed. If that information is interpreted differently by another program, the BMP may appear rotated or positioned differently.
Why did my image orientation change after removing EXIF data?
Some images rely on EXIF orientation information to indicate how they should be displayed. Removing that information can cause software that depends on it to display the image in its underlying orientation.
What happens to PNG metadata when it is converted to BMP?
A PNG can contain information such as EXIF data, comments, and color profiles in addition to its visible image content. Depending on the metadata setting used during conversion, some of this information may not be included in the resulting BMP.
Why did my converted file lose camera information?
Camera details are commonly stored as EXIF metadata rather than inside the visible pixels of the image. If metadata is removed during conversion, those camera-related details will no longer be available in the BMP.
Why can two BMP files with the same dimensions have different file sizes?
Width and height are only part of what determines an image file's size. Color information, image content, and the way the BMP stores its data can cause two images with identical dimensions to have different file sizes.
Why is a photograph much larger as a BMP than a simple graphic?
Photographs usually contain much more varied pixel information than simple graphics with large areas of similar color. This difference can make the resulting BMP files noticeably different in size.
Does converting PNG to BMP reduce image quality?
Changing the file format alone does not necessarily make the image visibly worse. Noticeable changes are more likely when the image is also resized, compressed, or has its transparent areas replaced with a background color.
Why do colors around my transparent object look different?
Shadows, glows, and soft edges can contain partially transparent pixels. When these areas are combined with a solid BMP background, their appearance can change slightly.
Why can't an older program open my BMP correctly?
Different programs support different BMP characteristics and may have limitations with particular image types. If the BMP is intended for older software, check whether that application has specific requirements for bitmap files.
Why does my BMP open correctly in one application but not another?
BMP is supported by many programs, but they do not all handle every BMP variation in exactly the same way. An older or more limited application may interpret the file differently from a modern image viewer.
Why does my converted BMP have unexpected colors?
Color handling can differ between the original PNG, the conversion process, and the program displaying the BMP. Color profiles and application-specific color management can sometimes account for the difference.
Why did my image become smaller even though I kept the same dimensions?
Image dimensions describe the number of pixels, while file size describes how much data is used to store those pixels. The dimensions can remain unchanged while the resulting file occupies more or less storage space.
Why doesn't my BMP have the transparent background from the PNG?
Transparency is one of the useful characteristics of PNG, but it is not handled in the same way by standard BMP workflows. Transparent portions therefore need to be represented using a visible background.
Why are my BMP files different sizes even though I converted them together?
Batch conversion applies the same selected settings, but the source images can contain different amounts of image data. Their dimensions, colors, and level of detail can therefore produce different BMP file sizes.
Why would an application specifically require BMP instead of PNG?
Some older applications, devices, software systems, and image-processing workflows were built around bitmap files. Converting PNG images to BMP can help when the destination specifically requires that format.
Why does my BMP look different when printed compared with the PNG?
The BMP may be interpreted differently by the software or printer handling the file. Differences in color management, image resolution, and the application's BMP support can affect the printed result.
Why does my BMP work on my computer but fail when uploaded somewhere else?
The receiving website or application may have specific requirements for BMP files, including supported variants, dimensions, color characteristics, or file size. If the file opens normally but is rejected elsewhere, the destination's BMP requirements are worth checking.
How do I convert BMP files into PNG?
