WebP to BMP Converter

Turn WebP images into BMP bitmaps for Paint, older Windows software, printers and embedded screens - for a smaller file that still opens everywhere, try WebP to PNG.

How to convert WEBP to BMP

  1. Add your WebP files. Drop up to 50 WebP images into the box, or browse for them. They never leave your device.
  2. Pick the bit depth. 24-bit is the classic BMP. 32-bit keeps transparency, 16-bit is for embedded screens, 8-bit and 1-bit make tiny files.
  3. Pick a background. Without 32-bit, transparent areas get a colour - white by default.
  4. Convert and download. Press Convert to BMP. One or two files download directly, more than two come as a ZIP.

Why convert WebP to BMP?

Some programs only read BMP.

Older Windows software, industrial and label printers, embroidery machines, game mods and microcontroller screens often accept nothing else - and none of them know WebP.

BMP stores raw pixels, so it is easy for any program to read.

Going the other way? BMP to WebP shrinks bitmaps for the web. Test files are in the WebP sample files.

Tips

  • Expect a much bigger file - a 1920 x 1080 picture is about 6 MB as a 24-bit BMP.
  • Transparent sticker? Pick 32-bit, or the background colour it will sit on.
  • Animated WebP? Its frames appear under the preview - tick the ones you want and each becomes its own file.
