GIF to BMP converts GIF images into Windows BMP (bitmap) files. BMP stores raw, uncompressed pixels, which makes it useful when a program or device needs a plain bitmap with no compression artefacts.
This converter decodes your GIF with the browser's image engine and writes a standard 24-bit uncompressed BMP. Animated GIFs are flattened to their first frame, and transparency is composited onto a white background because 24-bit BMP has no alpha channel. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

Common Use Cases
- Producing a raw bitmap for software that requires uncompressed BMP input.
- Converting a GIF frame to BMP for embedded systems or legacy tools.
- Creating a BMP from a GIF for image-processing pipelines.
- Exporting a GIF still as a plain Windows bitmap.
Example Input and Output
A small GIF converts to a larger, uncompressed 24-bit BMP.
sprite.gif (12 KB, 256-colour GIF)sprite.bmp (190 KB, 24-bit BMP)How This Tool Works
The browser decodes the GIF first frame to canvas pixels, composites any transparency onto white, and writes a 24-bit uncompressed BMP file for download.
Technical Stack
Format
Output is a 24-bit BI_RGB BMP with bottom-up rows — the most widely compatible bitmap variant.
Privacy
Your image never leaves the browser; conversion is fully client-side.
