About GIF to BMP
Convert GIF to BMP. GIF stores 256-color animation with 1-bit transparency, standardized in 1989. BMP is Windows' native raster format, commonly stored without compression. Uncompressed files run large; prefer PNG for the same pixels..
Why convert GIF to BMP?
- Larger files than lossy shares with BMP lossless or uncompressed quality.
- Keep quality where supported.
- Private, no upload - runs in your browser.

When not to convert GIF to BMP
- Skip BMP for the smallest share: lossless output stays large, so prefer a lossy target when sending GIF files.
- Still frames only: BMP cannot animate, so just the first frame of GIF carries over.
Limits
Starting point: GIF - 256-color animation with 1-bit transparency. Limited to 256 colors per frame, so gradients may band. Uncompressed files run large; prefer PNG for the same pixels. Export BMP from GIF at matched dimensions; every pixel maps across, so large sources stay large.
