How do I convert BMP to PNG?

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

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

BMP or PNG: which should I use?

Use BMP for older Windows programs, embedded devices and tools that need raw pixels. Use PNG for screenshots, logos, text graphics and cut-outs. Keep in mind the main drawback of PNG: large files for photographs.

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 PNG 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.
