GIF image
A broadly supported image format commonly used for short, simple animation.
Best for lightweight animation and legacy compatibility.
GIF to BMP
BMP has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a solid background. Add your files, convert them in one batch, and download each BMP directly.

How to convert GIF to BMP
The converter runs in your browser and an isolated processing queue. Nothing to install, and every upload is scanned for malware before it is processed.

- 2Choose BMPSet BMP as the output for the batch. Open settings to choose quality and width.
- 3Convert and downloadStart the batch and download each BMP directly, or save it to your workspace to get a permanent link.
BMP image
A simple bitmap format that stores raster graphics with minimal processing.
Best for legacy Windows workflows and uncompressed interchange.

What to expect from GIF to BMP
What changes in the file, and what to check before you share the result.
Transparency is filled in
GIF can hold transparent areas, but BMP cannot. Transparent pixels are filled with a solid background, so logos and cut-outs will sit on a box. Keep the GIF if you need the transparency.
Animation becomes a still image
An animated GIF contains several frames. BMP holds a single image, so the result is a still picture rather than an animation.
Expect a large file
BMP is usually stored without compression, so the result is much larger than the source. Use it when a program specifically asks for BMP.
Resize in the same step
Open the converter settings to set an output width and quality for every BMP in the batch. Leave the width empty to keep the original dimensions.
Starting from GIF
GIF files use a limited palette of up to 256 colors and may be animated.
GIF to BMP questions
Short answers about limits, privacy, and keeping the converted file.
Will my transparent background survive in BMP?
No. BMP has no alpha channel, so transparent areas are filled with a solid color. Convert to PNG or WebP instead if you need to keep transparency.
Does GIF to BMP keep animation?
No. BMP stores one image, so an animated GIF becomes a still. Static GIF files convert normally.
Is the GIF to BMP converter free?
Yes. Without an account you can convert up to 10 files a day, 2 at a time, up to 25 MB each. A free account adds monthly conversion credits and larger files.
How long are my files kept?
Guest uploads and results are deleted automatically after 1 hour. Conversions stay temporary when you are signed in too, unless you save a result to your workspace.
Can I get a permanent link to the BMP file?
Yes. Save the result to a SteadyLink workspace and it gets a stable link. If you make a new version later, replace the file and the link stays the same.
