How to Convert PNG to BMP Efficiently? Here’s the Answer

About PNG

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format, which means there’s no data loss during its compressing process. It acts as a replacement for the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF). Actually, the limitations of the GIF boost the creation and prevalence of PNG.

PNG files are mostly used for web graphics, logos, charts, and illustrations. If your image is in PNG format, it will contain a transparent background around an irregular-shaped object. This will prevent a white or other colored box from outlining your image.

About BMP

BMP is an uncompressed raster file format for images. Microsoft originally developed the BMP format for its Windows operating system to keep the resolution of digital images across different screens and devices. It is capable of storing two-dimensional images in various color depths.

Currently, BMP files are not limited to Windows devices only. Many Mac and Android devices are compatible with them now. It is supported by lots of image viewers and editors like Windows Photos and Apple Photos. 2D photos, icons, and screen grabs work well with the BMP format. With the help of image converters, BMP can be converted to or from formats like JPG, PNG, PDF, etc.
