Why convert GIF 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 GIF to BMP
- BMP can’t store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the background colour you pick in Settings (white by default).
- BMP can’t hold this animation, so an animated GIF is saved as its first frame.
- Converting can’t bring back detail that GIF compression already removed: the BMP is an exact copy of the image as it is, usually in a bigger file.

| Transparency | On/off only (one transparent colour) | No (in the 24-bit BMPs most apps read) |
| Animaatio | Kyllä | Ei |
| Väri | Up to 256 colours per frame | 16.7 million colours (24-bit) |
| Where it opens | All browsers, email apps and messaging apps | Windows and macOS apps, older software and browsers |
| Parasta varten | short animations, stickers and flat-colour graphics | older Windows programs, embedded devices and tools that need raw pixels |

- Upload your GIF 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 GIF to BMP lose quality?
- No new loss is added: BMP stores the picture exactly as it is. Detail that GIF 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).
