How do I convert ICO to BMP?

Upload your ICO 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 ICO to BMP lose quality?

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

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).

An ICO file bundles one picture at several sizes, from 16 to 256 pixels, so browsers and Windows can pick the sharpest version for a tab, bookmark or desktop shortcut.

Is the ICO 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.
