How do I convert BMP to TIFF?

Upload your BMP file above. It is converted to TIFF 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 BMP to TIFF lose quality?

No. Both formats are lossless, so every pixel is kept exactly.

BMP stores pixels with no compression at all. Files are large, but very old or simple software that can’t read modern formats can usually read a BMP.

Is the BMP to TIFF 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 BMP to TIFF?

TIFF files are usually smaller than BMP for the same picture, so pages load faster and uploads finish sooner.
TIFF is made for print production, scanning and long-term archiving.

What to expect when converting BMP to TIFF

Your original BMP file isn’t changed: you download a new TIFF copy.
The TIFF keeps the pixel dimensions of your BMP.

BMP vs TIFF

Feature	BMP	TIFF
Full name	Windows Bitmap	Tagged Image File Format
Origin	Created by Microsoft for Windows	Created by Aldus in 1986, now maintained by Adobe
Compression	Uncompressed	Lossless (LZW) or uncompressed
Transparency	No (in the 24-bit BMPs most apps read)	Yes — smooth, partial transparency
Animation	No	No
Colour	16.7 million colours (24-bit)	Up to 16 bits per channel, RGB or CMYK
Where it opens	Windows and macOS apps, older software and browsers	Photo editors, print and scanning software; most browsers don’t display it
Best for	older Windows programs, embedded devices and tools that need raw pixels	print production, scanning and long-term archiving
Main drawback	very large files and no transparency	very large files that web browsers won’t display

In short: choose BMP for older Windows programs, embedded devices and tools that need raw pixels; choose TIFF for print production, scanning and long-term archiving.

BMP to TIFF for print workflows and document archives

Nothing about picture quality changes here, since BMP and TIFF are both lossless; the point is acceptance, because print shops, publishing systems and records archives ask for TIFF, and few of them take BMP. The converter writes the same pixels into a TIFF with lossless LZW compression, which for graphics and documents is usually smaller than the uncompressed bitmap.

The pixel size doesn't change, so compare it with the print size before sending the file: at 300 pixels per inch, a 1024 × 768 BMP prints only about 3.4 × 2.6 inches. Transparency from a 32-bit BMP carries into the TIFF. The browser won't preview a TIFF, so expect a card with the file's name and size in place of a picture.

Archiving a whole folder? Premium batch converts many BMPs at once and hands back one ZIP. To share the same images on screen, a PNG copy opens everywhere, and a one-page PDF suits email.
