Convert BMP to PNG
BMP stores pixels essentially uncompressed, which makes it simple to read and unusually large. Converting it to PNG gives you a file suited to logos, icons, screenshots and any image with sharp edges or transparency.

About the formats
About BMP
BMP stores pixels essentially uncompressed, which makes it simple to read and unusually large. It is normally used for older Windows software and some scanner or instrument output. File sizes are far larger than any modern format for identical image content.
About PNG
PNG compresses without discarding any detail, and supports a full alpha channel for transparency. It is normally used for logos, icons, screenshots and any image with sharp edges or transparency. Lossless compression means photographs come out considerably larger than the same image as JPEG.
What happens to your file
Your file is uploaded to FilesMagic's own conversion servers over an encrypted connection, converted there, and deleted as soon as the download has been sent. We do not keep copies, and we do not log file names or file contents.
Questions
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
Yes. Converting this format needs software that cannot run in a browser, so the file is uploaded to FilesMagic's own servers, converted, and deleted once your download has been sent.
Does converting BMP to PNG reduce quality?
Neither format discards detail, so the image data survives the conversion intact. Only the file size changes.
How big a file can I convert?
Files can be up to 25 MB. That is generous for this format - if a file is larger than that it is usually because of embedded images, and compressing those before converting normally brings it well under the limit.
