Why convert BMP to PNG?
BMP is an uncompressed raster format that stores raw pixel data, yielding large but universally readable files. PNG is a lossless raster format that reproduces every pixel exactly and fully supports transparency.
PNG supports an alpha channel, so you get a transparency-capable file to layer or edit — though the conversion cannot invent transparency the BMP never had. PNG is lossless, so quality is preserved perfectly; expect the file to be larger than a compressed BMP. PNG opens on every device, browser, and app, which is frequently the whole reason to convert away from BMP.
Pixohub converts BMP to PNG entirely inside your browser using the HTML canvas API, so your images are never uploaded to a server. That makes conversion instant, completely private, and free — turn as many BMP files into PNG as you like. Reach for PNG whenever you need logos, icons, screenshots, and any graphic with sharp edges or a transparent background.
BMP vs PNG: what to expect
BMP is best for maximum compatibility with legacy Windows software and raw, lossless pixels, while PNG shines for logos, icons, screenshots, and any graphic with sharp edges or a transparent background. Keep your original BMP if you may later need the source file, and export a PNG copy for compatibility and editing.
