AVIF to BMP Converter

Converting AVIF to BMP decodes the image to uncompressed Windows bitmap data. Useful for legacy Windows software, embedded systems, or any context where decode simplicity matters more than file size.

What changes when you convert AVIF to BMP

Lossless conversion of whatever the AVIF decoded to. File size balloons; an AVIF under 200 KB often becomes a BMP over 6 MB. HDR content gets tonemapped to 8-bit; alpha handling in BMP is inconsistent.

When to use this conversion

  • Feeding to legacy Windows software or industrial tools requiring BMP
  • Loading into embedded systems with minimal BMP parsers
  • Programming assignments specifying BMP format
  • Interfacing with old scanning or capture software

Where the output plays

BMP runs on every Windows version and most image viewers. It's not a web or modern consumer format.

About these formats

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format)

AVIF is an image format built on the AV1 video codec, standardized in 2019. It supports HDR, wide color gamut, 12-bit depth, alpha, and animation. At matched perceived quality it's typically 50% the size of JPG and 20% smaller than WebP. Support is near-universal in modern browsers but spottier in image editors.

BMP (Windows Bitmap)

BMP is the uncompressed Windows bitmap format from 1990. Files are huge because almost nothing is compressed, but the format is trivial to decode and supported by virtually every Windows utility, embedded system, and legacy tool. Useful as an interchange format when other options fail.

How It Works

  1. Add your AVIF files Drag AVIF images onto the page or click to pick them from your file browser. Batch uploads are fine.
  2. Choose BMP settings Pick quality or compression settings for the BMP output. Defaults match common target use cases.
  3. Convert in your browser The converter runs locally via WebAssembly. Nothing uploads. Progress shows per file so you know exactly what's happening.
  4. Download BMP files Grab each converted file individually, or download the whole batch as a single ZIP.

FAQ

Why is the BMP so much larger?

AVIF is one of the most efficient image formats; BMP has no compression at all. Expect 30–100× file size increase depending on AVIF quality settings.

Will HDR be preserved?

No. Standard BMP is 8-bit per channel. HDR and 10/12-bit AVIF content is tonemapped to SDR during conversion.

Are my files private?

Yes. The converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never leave your device.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no hard limit, but because everything runs in your browser you're bounded by available memory. Very large images (over a few hundred megapixels) can hit browser memory limits. Process in smaller batches if you run into issues.
