Born as a free alternative to GIF, it keeps every pixel exactly as it is and supports transparency with 256 levels. It’s the natural choice for screenshots, logos, graphics with text and images you’ll edit several times.

Best for
Screenshots, logos, icons, graphics with text, images with a transparent background.

With photos the files get heavy, often 5-10 times a JPG of similar quality.

Questions about BMP and PNG

Does the quality change?

No. Both BMP and PNG are lossless, so the image stays identical pixel for pixel.

Are my BMP files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion from BMP to PNG happens entirely in your browser, using your device’s computing power. Files aren’t sent or stored anywhere: when you close the page they’re gone from memory too.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 100 files at a time. There’s no fixed size limit: it depends on your device’s memory. On smartphones it’s best to work in smaller batches with heavy files such as videos.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, with up-to-date Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet. On phones, converted files end up in the Downloads folder or the Files app.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only to open the page (and, the first time, to download the components needed for that type of file). After that the conversion keeps working even if the connection drops.
