Why convert PSD to BMP?
PSD is Adobe Photoshop's native format, storing a flattened composite plus editable layers, masks, and effects. 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 PSD are flattened onto a solid white background. BMP is lossless, so quality is preserved perfectly; expect the file to be larger than a compressed PSD. BMP is readable by virtually all legacy Windows software.
Pixohub converts PSD to BMP entirely inside your browser using the HTML canvas API and an in-browser PSD decoder, so your images are never uploaded to a server. That makes conversion instant, completely private, and free — turn as many PSD files into BMP as you like. Reach for BMP whenever you need maximum compatibility with legacy Windows software and raw, lossless pixels.
PSD vs BMP: what to expect
PSD is best for layered editing in Photoshop and design hand-off, while BMP shines for maximum compatibility with legacy Windows software and raw, lossless pixels. Keep your original PSD if you may later need its transparency, and export a BMP copy for compatibility and editing.
