BMP to TIFF Converter

Converting BMP to TIFF moves the image into an archival format with rich metadata, color profile support, and lossless compression. For BMP archives destined for print, scientific, or professional imaging workflows, TIFF is the standard target.

What changes when you convert BMP to TIFF

Lossless pixel preservation. TIFF with LZW or ZIP compression is typically 2–5× smaller than the source BMP. Alpha transfers cleanly. Metadata support is far richer than BMP's.

When to use this conversion

  • Archiving BMP scans or photos in a professional imaging format
  • Delivering to print shops or publishers requiring TIFF
  • Feeding into GIS, medical imaging, or scientific pipelines
  • Combining multiple BMP pages into a single multi-page TIFF document

Where the output plays

TIFF is supported by all professional imaging tools and print workflows. Browsers don't display it natively.

About these formats

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.

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)

TIFF is a 1986 container format used throughout professional photography, print production, and archival imaging. It supports lossless compression, multiple pages, 16-bit-per-channel color, embedded color profiles, and high bit-depth grayscale. Print shops, medical imaging, and GIS systems expect TIFF.

How It Works

  1. Add your BMP files Drag BMP images onto the page or click to pick them from your file browser. Batch uploads are fine.
  2. Choose TIFF settings Pick quality or compression settings for the TIFF 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 TIFF files Grab each converted file individually, or download the whole batch as a single ZIP.

FAQ

Is TIFF better than BMP?

For professional use, yes. TIFF supports metadata, color profiles, compression, and multi-page documents that BMP doesn't. For simple Windows-native use, BMP is simpler.

Will TIFF be smaller than BMP?

Yes, if you use LZW or ZIP compression. Typically 2–5× smaller. Uncompressed TIFF is similar in size to BMP.

What is 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.

What is TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)?

TIFF is a 1986 container format used throughout professional photography, print production, and archival imaging. It supports lossless compression, multiple pages, 16-bit-per-channel color, embedded color profiles, and high bit-depth grayscale. Print shops, medical imaging, and GIS systems expect TIFF.

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.
