BMP to PNG Converter

Convert BMP bitmaps to PNG without losing a single pixel. PNG is lossless and much smaller than BMP, so screenshots and graphics stay sharp.

PNG is lossless: every pixel is kept exactly, and the file is usually much smaller than the BMP.

What is a BMP to PNG converter?

PNG stores exactly the same pixels as a BMP, but compressed without loss, so the picture is identical and the file is usually a fraction of the size. Screenshots, diagrams, icons and other flat graphics shrink the most, because PNG's compression is built for large areas of the same colour.

The converter opens each bitmap with your browser's image decoder and writes a PNG with every pixel unchanged. Palette (1, 4 and 8-bit) and true-colour (24 and 32-bit) BMPs are supported, and transparency in 32-bit BMPs is carried over to the PNG.

Photos also convert perfectly, but a lossless PNG of a photo stays fairly large; if you need a small photo file, BMP to JPG is the better fit. There are no settings to get wrong: PNG has no quality level to choose.

Why use a BMP to PNG converter?

BMP is bulky and poorly supported on the web, yet converting to JPG would blur text and sharp edges. PNG gives you a modern, widely supported file that is pixel-identical to the original, which matters for screenshots, UI mockups, scans of documents and pixel art.

BMP to PNG converter: frequently asked questions

Something else? Ask the team

Is BMP to PNG lossless?

Yes. Every pixel in the PNG has exactly the same colour as in the BMP. Only the way the data is stored changes.

Why is the PNG so much smaller?

Most BMPs aren't compressed at all. PNG compresses without loss, and flat colours, text and screenshots compress especially well.

Does it keep transparency?

Yes. If a 32-bit BMP has an alpha channel, those transparent pixels stay transparent in the PNG.

Should I choose PNG or JPG?

PNG for screenshots, graphics, text and anything you will edit again. JPG for photos when the smallest file matters more than perfect pixels.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser and the files stay on your device.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. It works in Safari on iPhone and in Chrome on Android, and the PNGs save to Files or Downloads.

Is it free?

You get 1 free run per tool per day. After that, a run costs 5 credits with a free account, and covers up to 30 files.
