How to convert BMP to AVIF
Drop your BMP files into the box at the top of the page, or click it to browse your files. The converter makes a copy of each one in AVIF format, and you can download them one by one or all at once. You can convert up to 4 images a day for free, up to 8 MB each. Pro removes the daily limit, lets you convert up to 30 images at a time, and accepts images up to 30 MB.
You can also resize your images and strip out metadata like EXIF data and GPS location while you convert. We store your images for an hour before we permanently delete them.
Converting BMP to AVIF
BMP is typically used for old Windows software and simple pipelines that need raw, uncompressed pixels, while AVIF is used for websites that want the smallest possible images.
What changes when I convert BMP to AVIF?
AVIF uses lossy compression, so the converter trades a small amount of detail for a smaller file. The recommended quality is 80%, and you can change it in the settings.
AVIF files are usually smaller than BMP files of the same picture, which helps pages load faster.
Understanding BMP
BMP is an uncompressed bitmap format from Windows. It stores every pixel as it is, so files are very large, but almost any program can open them.
Understanding AVIF
AVIF is a newer format that usually makes the smallest files of any common image format. It supports transparency, but it is slower to create and some older apps cannot open it.
Once your images are converted, the colour converter can help you translate any hex, RGB or CMYK values you're working with into whichever format your design tools need next.
