What changes in this conversion

  • BMP does not support transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a solid background (white by default).
  • BMP holds a single frame, so only the first frame of the animation is kept.

How to use

  1. Add your GIF file

    Drag the GIF file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.

  2. Confirm BMP as the output

    BMP 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.

  3. Run the conversion

    Press the convert button. A single image is usually done before you finish reading this sentence.

  4. Download the BMP file

    When it finishes, download the BMP file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.

About these formats

Commonly used for Short animations, reaction images (memes), simple icons

A Windows standard format that stores pixel data with little or no compression. There is no quality loss, but files are very large.

Commonly used for Windows application internals, intermediate editing saves

Frequently asked questions

Is converting GIF to BMP really free?

Yes. GIF to BMP conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.

Are my GIF files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the GIF file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.

Will my transparent background survive the GIF to BMP conversion?

No — BMP has no alpha channel, so transparent pixels are replaced with a solid background. If transparency matters, convert to PNG or WebP instead.

What happens to the animation when I convert GIF to BMP?

BMP stores a single frame, so only the first frame is kept. To preserve motion, convert to an animated format such as WebP or MP4.

Does the BMP file get bigger than the GIF?

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 GIF to BMP 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.
