What is the difference between BMP and PNG?
BMP is uncompressed bitmap with large file sizes. PNG uses lossless compression, 50-80% smaller without quality loss, and supports transparency.
Who still uses BMP?
BMP mainly appears in legacy Windows applications, scanners, and some technical software. Most BMP images should be converted to PNG or WebP.
Does BMP to PNG conversion lose quality?
No. Both BMP and PNG store full pixel data. PNG simply compresses data more efficiently without removing information.
