Why Convert BMP to PDF?
BMP files are difficult to share — they're huge and not all platforms handle them well. PDF ensures your image can be viewed on any device with consistent layout, and is much easier to email or upload.
How to Convert BMP to PDF
Upload your BMP file.
KoalaPic embeds the image in a PDF at print-quality resolution.
Download the PDF for sharing or printing.
Quality Note
The image is embedded at full resolution. The large size of the original BMP is compressed within the PDF, so the PDF will be significantly smaller.
