Frequently asked questions

Why would I need BMP from an iPhone photo?

Some old Windows applications, printers or industrial scanners only accept the uncompressed BMP format — this conversion bridges that specific compatibility gap so the photo opens in that software. Once saved as BMP the picture opens in tools that predate modern photo formats entirely.

Will the BMP file be much larger than the HEIC?

Yes, significantly. BMP stores every pixel uncompressed, so a 12-megapixel iPhone photo becomes roughly 36 MB, many times larger than the compact HEIC source.

Do I need an Apple device to convert HEIC to BMP?

No. The conversion runs in any browser on Windows, Android, Mac or iPhone, with no HEIF extensions or Apple software required.

What colour depth does the BMP use?

The photo is saved as a standard 24-bit RGB bitmap, which reproduces the colours faithfully and is the depth the legacy software that requires BMP expects. If the target program needs a specific depth, a 24-bit RGB BMP is the safe default it almost always accepts.

Is transparency or Live Photo motion kept?

Neither. Standard BMP has no alpha channel and photos are opaque anyway, and a Live Photo is reduced to its single still key frame.

Does the BMP carry over GPS and EXIF data?

No. BMP stores no EXIF metadata, so the location and timestamp from the photo are dropped — a small privacy benefit when handing the file to another system.

Can I convert several HEIC photos to BMP at once?

Yes. Add all the HEIC files you need and each is rasterized to its own BMP in one pass, which saves time when feeding a batch into older software. Nothing is merged between the files.
