Turn HEIF photos from Android phones, cameras and iPhones into plain Windows bitmaps for Paint and legacy software - for everyday use HEIF to PNG is far smaller.
Curious what is inside the BMP? Open it in the BMP Analyzer.
Samsung, Google Pixel and many cameras can save photos as HEIF, and iPhones use the same container.
Some software only reads the oldest formats - label printers, embroidery machines, game tools and old Windows programs.
Just want a quick look first? Open it in the HEIC Viewer.
| HEIF | BMP | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | HEVC - very strong | None |
| Typical size | Tiny | Huge - 3 bytes per pixel |
| Transparency | Yes | 32-bit only |
| Opens in | Apple devices, some apps | Every Windows program |
| Best for | Phone galleries | Legacy software |
Test files are in the HEIF sample files.
Drop your HEIF photos into the box, check the settings and press Convert to BMP.
One file downloads directly, more than two come as a ZIP.
No. Your browser decodes the HEIF and writes the BMP on your device, so private photos stay private.
HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) is a modern photo container used by Samsung, Pixel and many cameras. HEIC is the same container as used by iPhones. This page reads both.
BMP stores raw pixels with no compression. A 4032 x 3024 photo needs about 36 MB. Use Resize to make it smaller.
BMP is uncompressed - expect a file 20-50 times bigger than the HEIF.
Bursts and collections show every picture under the preview. The first one is ticked; tick any others and each becomes its own BMP.
