What changes in this conversion
- BMP does not support transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a solid background (white by default).
- Layers, masks, and editable structure are flattened into a single image — keep the original TIF file if you may need to edit it again.
- Camera metadata such as EXIF (shooting date, GPS location, camera model) is not carried into BMP.
- BMP opens almost everywhere, so the converted file will work on devices and programs that refused the original TIF.
How to use
-
Add your TIF file
Drag the TIF file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.
-
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.
-
Run the conversion
Press the convert button. A single image is usually done before you finish reading this sentence.
-
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.

Frequently asked questions
Is converting TIF to BMP really free?
Yes. TIF to BMP conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.
Are my TIF files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the TIF 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 TIF 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.
Does the BMP file get bigger than the TIF?
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 TIF 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.
