A Windows standard format that stores pixel data with little or no compression. There is no quality loss, but files are very large.
BMP to PNG Converter
Convert BMP files to PNG free in your browser — no signup, no install, and the file is never uploaded to a server. PNG keeps full quality with no further loss.
What changes in this conversion
- The pixels are decoded and written out as PNG. Image dimensions are preserved exactly; what changes is how that same picture is stored on disk.
How to use
-
Add your BMP file
Drag the BMP file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.
-
Confirm PNG as the output
PNG is already selected as the output format on this page. You can set the output width and height. Quality stays untouched because this format is lossless.
-
Run the conversion
Press the convert button. A single image is usually done before you finish reading this sentence.
-
Download the PNG file
When it finishes, download the PNG file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.
About these formats
A lossless image format that preserves quality perfectly and supports transparent backgrounds via an alpha channel. Better suited to logos, icons, and screenshots than photographs.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting BMP to PNG really free?
Yes. BMP to PNG conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.
Are my BMP files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the BMP file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.
Does the PNG file get bigger than the BMP?
It can go either way. Both formats are lossless, so nothing is thrown away — the size difference comes from how each one packs the same data.
Is there a file size limit for BMP to PNG conversion?
The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
