Lossless format. Large files, ideal for print/archival.

256 colors max. Best for simple graphics.

Uncompressed bitmap. Very large files.

Vector trace. Best for logos and simple graphics. Not a pixel-perfect conversion.

Best for logos, icons, and line art. Photos produce stylized results.

BMP files are uncompressed and can be very large. Consider TIFF (LZW) or PNG for lossless with smaller file sizes.

Leave empty for all pages. Multi-page PDFs produce a ZIP.

Quality Note

BMP to WEBP is the single most dramatic file size reduction available. A 6 MB BMP might become 50-100 KB as WEBP at quality 85%. The visual difference is negligible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dramatically. A 6.2 MB Full HD BMP typically becomes a 100–300 KB WEBP at quality 85, a reduction of 20 to 60 times. BMP applies no compression whatsoever, so almost any modern format is a large improvement.

Lossy for photographs, lossless for screenshots, logos and anything with text. Lossless WEBP is still far smaller than BMP while keeping every pixel exact, which suits the flat graphics BMP files often hold.

If the source is a 32-bit BMP with an alpha channel, yes — WEBP supports full alpha. Most BMP files are 24-bit with no transparency, in which case the WEBP is opaque.

Possibly not. WEBP is well supported in browsers and modern image editors, but the legacy Windows tools that still require BMP frequently cannot read it. Check the destination before converting an archive.
