Why convert GIF to BMP?
GIF is an older format limited to 256 colours per frame, best known for simple animations. For single still images, PNG or WebP are smaller and sharper. BMP is an uncompressed raster format from early Windows. It preserves every pixel but produces very large files, so it is mainly used for compatibility with legacy software.
- BMP has no transparency channel, so any transparent areas are flattened onto a solid background (white by default, adjustable below).
- Convert a single still frame of your GIF into a sharper, smaller BMP image.
