BMP to PNG converter

The BMP (Bitmap) file format is a raster graphics file type commonly used to store digital images. BMP files are typically uncompressed and can range from simple monochrome images to 24-bit color images with full color depth and lossless compression. The BMP format supports multiple color depths, including 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit color. It also supports alpha blending and other features.

BMP files are widely used to create logos, web graphics, icons, screenshots, and loading images in games. They can be opened with any text editor or image editing software. Web browsers can also display BMP files. Microsoft Windows and other operating systems support the BMP file type natively.

PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics and is a lossless image file format used for storing graphics on the web. PNG files are supported by most modern web browsers and can be scaled up or down without loss of quality. Compared to traditional bitmap formats like JPEG and GIF, PNG produces smaller files with better compression, resulting in higher image quality.

PNGs support transparency, alpha blending, anti-aliasing, and multiple identifiers. They also include 8-bit and 24-bit color depths which can produce smaller file sizes than more traditional formats such as GIF. Additionally, the ICC color profile can be included with any PNG file for improved color accuracy.
