How do I convert AVIF to BMP?

Upload your AVIF file above. It is converted to BMP automatically (change the output format or quality in the Settings tab if you need to), then click Download. There is nothing to install.

Does converting AVIF to BMP lose quality?

No new loss is added: BMP stores the picture exactly as it is. Detail that AVIF compression removed earlier can’t be restored.

Will the BMP keep the transparent background?

No. BMP can’t store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the background colour you pick in Settings (white by default).

AVIF compresses still images with the AV1 video codec. It usually produces smaller files than JPG and WebP at the same visual quality and supports HDR and transparency.

Is the AVIF to BMP converter free?

Yes. Convert, preview and download a single result without creating an account. Premium adds batch conversion (many files into one ZIP) and larger uploads.

Why convert AVIF to BMP?

BMP is lossless, so the converted image loses no further detail when you edit and save it again.
BMP is made for older Windows programs, embedded devices and tools that need raw pixels.

What to expect when converting AVIF to BMP

BMP can’t store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the background colour you pick in Settings (white by default).
Converting can’t bring back detail that AVIF compression already removed: the BMP is an exact copy of the image as it is, usually in a bigger file.

AVIF vs BMP

Feature	AVIF	BMP
Full name	AV1 Image File Format	Windows Bitmap
Origin	Released by the Alliance for Open Media in 2019	Created by Microsoft for Windows
Compression	Lossy or lossless	Uncompressed
Transparency	Yes — smooth, partial transparency	No (in the 24-bit BMPs most apps read)
Animation	Yes	No
Colour	8, 10 or 12 bits per channel, including HDR	16.7 million colours (24-bit)
Where it opens	Current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari 16+; fewer editing apps	Windows and macOS apps, older software and browsers
Best for	the smallest high-quality images for websites and apps	older Windows programs, embedded devices and tools that need raw pixels
Main drawback	it is slow to create and many editing apps and older devices can’t open it	very large files and no transparency

In short: choose AVIF for the smallest high-quality images for websites and apps; choose BMP for older Windows programs, embedded devices and tools that need raw pixels.

AVIF to BMP for legacy and embedded software

Software written long before AVIF appeared, such as older Windows programs, display controllers and hobby electronics tools, cannot decode it. BMP's raw, uncompressed 24-bit pixels are the format that kind of software understands, which is why it remains the fallback for very old or very simple programs.

Transparency in the AVIF is flattened onto the Background fill color, which you set in the Settings tab; pick the color of the screen or page the image will sit on. The pixels are otherwise unchanged, and since BMP doesn't compress, the file grows to width × height × 3 bytes, many times the AVIF's size.

Small displays usually need an exact resolution, so resize to the display's pixel size first. If the old software reads JPG, AVIF to JPG gives a much smaller file; if it reads PNG, AVIF to PNG keeps the transparency instead of filling it.
