What to expect from ICO to BMP

What changes in the file, and what to check before you share the result.

One image from an icon file

An ICO file can contain several icon sizes. The result is a single BMP image, so check that it came out at a size that works for you.

Transparency is filled in

ICO 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 ICO if you need the transparency.

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.

ICO 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.

Is the ICO 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.
