Batch convert PNG images to Windows bitmaps in any bit depth - 32-bit keeps transparency, 16-bit and 1-bit suit embedded screens and printers. Going back? Use BMP to PNG.
Curious what is inside the result? Open it in the BMP Analyzer.
Some software only reads BMP.
Industrial and label printers, embroidery machines, microcontroller and LCD displays, game mods and old Windows programs often accept nothing else.
BMP stores raw pixels, so it is easy to read - at the cost of a bigger file.
| Type | Colours | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 32-bit | Millions + alpha | Keeping transparency |
| 24-bit | Millions | Any Windows program (default) |
| 16-bit (5-6-5) | 65,536 | Embedded and Arduino screens, old games |
| 8-bit | Up to 256 | Small files, logos, retro |
| 1-bit | Black and white | Label printers, e-ink, fax |
Test files are in the PNG sample files, and the BMP samples show every BMP type.
Drop your PNG files into the box, pick the BMP type (24-bit is standard) and press Convert to BMP. More than two files come as a ZIP.
Yes - pick 32-bit. The other types fill transparent areas with the background colour.
24-bit for any Windows program, 32-bit for transparency, 16-bit for embedded RGB565 screens, 8-bit or 1-bit for tiny files and printers.
BMP stores pixels without compression. A 1920 x 1080 picture is about 6 MB as a 24-bit BMP.
No. Your browser writes the BMP on your device.
Yes - up to 50 per batch, downloaded as one ZIP.
