Why convert HEIF to BMP?
- BMP is supported far more widely than HEIF, so the file is easier to open, share and upload.
- 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 HEIF to BMP
- Converting can’t bring back detail that HEIF compression already removed: the BMP is an exact copy of the image as it is, usually in a bigger file.
- High-dynamic-range and wide-colour detail is converted to standard 8-bit colour.

| Transparency | Rarely used in camera photos | No (in the 24-bit BMPs most apps read) |
| Animation | Nej | Nej |
| Farve | 8 or 10 bits per channel, wide colour | 16.7 million colours (24-bit) |
| Where it opens | Recent phones and cameras; many PCs, apps and websites need extra software | Windows and macOS apps, older software and browsers |
| Bedst til | storing high-quality photos in less space on phones and cameras | older Windows programs, embedded devices and tools that need raw pixels |
