Convert BMP to WebP

BMP stores pixels essentially uncompressed. Expect the file to get very substantially smaller.

Check it yourself

Your images never leave this tab.

Open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and convert a file. You will see the encoder and its WebAssembly module load from this domain the first time, and then nothing — no upload, no image data, no request carrying your file anywhere. Turn off your Wi-Fi after the page loads and it still works.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will a BMP get?
A great deal. BMP typically stores raw uncompressed pixel data, so a 1920x1080 image is around 6MB regardless of content. The same image as lossless WebP is often under 500KB, and as lossy WebP frequently under 100KB. Savings above 95% are common.
Should I use lossless for BMP?
If the BMP came from a screenshot, a scan of a document, or any drawing tool, use Lossless — you will still get an enormous reduction with no quality change at all. If it is a photograph, lossy will be much smaller again.
Why do I still have BMP files?
BMP hangs on in Windows-native workflows: some scanner drivers, older screen-capture tools, medical and industrial imaging software, and Paint's default in certain versions. They are usually a step in a pipeline rather than something anyone chose deliberately.
Does BMP transparency convert?
32-bit BMP files can carry an alpha channel, and where one is present it is preserved in the output. Most BMP files in circulation are 24-bit with no transparency at all.

Other conversions

Each converter opens with the right output format already selected, so the file you drop comes back in the format you came for.
