Understanding the BMP to SVG Conversion
What is a BMP file?
BMP (Bitmap) is an uncompressed image format developed by Microsoft. It stores color data for each pixel without compression, resulting in very large file sizes but preserving 100% of the image data. Rarely used on the web due to large file sizes. Primarily used for storing high-quality, uncompressed images for printing or archival purposes on Windows systems.
What is a SVG file?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics. Unlike pixel-based formats, SVGs can be scaled to any size without losing quality. Ideal for logos, icons, illustrations, and interactive graphics on the web. It is not suitable for photographs.
Why Convert from BMP to SVG?
Converting from BMP to SVG is often done to optimize images for different use cases. For example, you might convert a high-quality BMP with transparency to a SVG to achieve a smaller file size for faster web loading, or change a SVG photo to a BMP to add a transparent background. Our tool makes this process seamless, allowing you to tailor your images for websites, social media, presentations, or storage.
