Why convert PNG to BMP?
- BMP is made for older Windows programs, embedded devices and tools that need raw pixels.
- BMP needs no decoding, so very simple or older software can display it.
What to expect when converting PNG to BMP
- BMP can’t store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the background colour you pick in Settings (white by default).
- Expect a bigger file: BMP usually takes more space than PNG for the same picture.
