Why convert PNG to BMP?
PNG is a lossless raster format that reproduces every pixel exactly and fully supports transparency. BMP is an uncompressed raster format that stores raw pixel data, yielding large but universally readable files.
BMP does not support transparency, so any transparent areas in your PNG are flattened onto a solid white background. BMP is lossless, so quality is preserved perfectly; expect the file to be larger than a compressed PNG. BMP is readable by virtually all legacy Windows software.
Pixohub converts PNG to BMP 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 PNG files into BMP as you like. Reach for BMP whenever you need maximum compatibility with legacy Windows software and raw, lossless pixels.
PNG vs BMP: what to expect
PNG is best for logos, icons, screenshots, and any graphic with sharp edges or a transparent background, while BMP shines for maximum compatibility with legacy Windows software and raw, lossless pixels. Keep your original PNG if you may later need its transparency, and export a BMP copy for compatibility and editing.
