Convert AVIF to BMP

BMP is needed by some older Windows software, embedded devices and hardware tools that cannot read modern formats.

Input:
AVIF
Output:
BMP

About this conversion

AVIF
AV1-based image format with very efficient compression, transparency, and wide colour / HDR support.
BMP
Mostly uncompressed bitmap format from Windows. Simple and lossless, but files are large.

Limitations and things to know

  • BMP does not support transparency. Transparent areas of your AVIF will be filled with a background colour (white by default, or the colour you choose if the option is offered).
  • BMP cannot store animation. If your AVIF is animated, only one frame (normally the first) is converted unless the service offers frame selection.
  • AVIF can store HDR and wide-gamut colour. Converting to a standard-range format maps colours into sRGB, so very saturated or bright areas may look slightly different.
  • BMP files can be much larger than the original because they are stored with little or no compression.
  • Metadata such as EXIF camera data and colour profiles may be removed or converted for privacy and compatibility.

Size, page, duration and dimension limits are shown in the converter above and checked again by our server.

AVIF to BMP: common questions

Will converting AVIF to BMP reduce quality?

BMP is lossless, so the pixels are stored exactly.

Is my AVIF file checked before conversion?

Yes. We inspect the file's contents, not just its name, and the server verifies it again before converting. Renamed files that are not really AVIF are rejected.

What happens to transparency?

BMP has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a solid background colour.

What if my AVIF is animated?

BMP is a still-image format, so a single frame is exported. If frame selection is offered you can choose which one.
