About formats

BMP

BMP (Bitmap) is a simple, largely uncompressed raster image format native to Windows. BMP stores pixel data with optional Run-Length Encoding, making it trivial to read and write, but produces very large files. It remains useful as an intermediate, loss-free working format.

Developer: Microsoft
Initial release: 1985
Compression: Uncompressed
Color depth: up to 32-bit
Transparency: Yes
Animation: No

Best for

Lossless intermediate image storage
Windows-native graphics workflows
Simple pixel-data interchange
Uncompressed image working copies
Legacy Windows application images

Pros

+Trivial to read and write
+Lossless and uncompressed
+Supports up to 32-bit color
+No decoding complexity

Cons

−Very large file sizes
−No compression by default
−Not suited for web
−No modern features like animation

TIFF

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible, high-quality raster format widely used in professional photography, scanning, and publishing. TIFF supports lossless compression, multiple pages per file, and a very high color depth, making it the format of choice for print and archival workflows.

Developer: Aldus Corporation (Adobe)
Initial release: 1986
Compression: Lossy or lossless
Color depth: up to 16-bit
Transparency: Yes
Animation: No

Best for

Professional photography workflows
Print-ready image production
High-quality scanning and archival
Multi-page document imaging
Publishing and prepress

Pros

+Lossless compression option
+Supports very high color depth
+Multiple pages per file
+Standard in print and publishing

Cons

−Large file sizes
−Complex format with many variants
−Not suited for web display
−Some variants lack universal reader support

Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting BMP to TIFF free?

Yes. This BMP → TIFF converter runs entirely in your browser and is completely free — no account, no credits, no watermark.

Which devices and platforms can I use to convert BMP to TIFF?

Any modern device with a current web browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to install — the conversion happens locally.

Are my BMP files uploaded to a server?

No. Files never leave your device. The entire BMP → TIFF conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.

Can I convert multiple BMP files at once?

Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many BMP files as you like and convert them to TIFF in one pass, then download the results together.

What is the maximum file size?

There is no fixed server-side limit because the conversion happens in your browser. Practical limits depend on the available memory and CPU of your device.

Will converting BMP to TIFF reduce the quality?

Because both formats use lossy compression, the TIFF output will not bring back any quality that has already been lost in your BMP file. Avoid repeated re-encoding to keep the best quality.

Will transparency be preserved when converting BMP to TIFF?

Yes. Both BMP and TIFF support alpha-channel transparency, so transparent areas of your file are kept unchanged in the TIFF output.

Will the converted TIFF file be smaller than the BMP?

Usually yes. Converting from a lossless or uncompressed format to a lossy one dramatically reduces file size. Typical savings range from 50% to 90%, depending on the quality setting you choose.
