TIFF to BMP Converter

Converting TIFF to BMP produces an uncompressed Windows bitmap from the first TIFF page. Useful for feeding TIFF imagery into legacy Windows software or embedded systems that don't read TIFF.

What changes when you convert TIFF to BMP

Lossless pixel preservation of 8-bit content. 16-bit TIFF precision is lost in standard BMP. File size grows to uncompressed size, often larger than even uncompressed TIFF due to BMP's padding requirements. Alpha handling in BMP is inconsistent.

When to use this conversion

  • Feeding TIFF source to legacy Windows software
  • Loading into embedded systems or microcontrollers
  • Integrating with old scanning or imaging tools
  • Programming coursework expecting BMP input

Where the output plays

BMP runs on every Windows version and most cross-platform viewers.

About these formats

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.

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 TIFF files Drag TIFF 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

Will multi-page TIFF convert?

No. BMP is single-page. Only the first TIFF page becomes the BMP.

Will alpha be preserved?

Inconsistently. 32-bit BMP supports alpha, but many tools ignore it. For reliable transparency use PNG.

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.
