The formats
WebP and BMP at a glance
What is a WebP file?
WebP is an image format from Google that makes files roughly 25 to 35 percent smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency, and animation. Websites use it to load faster, but some older apps and upload forms still can't open it. It opens in all current browsers, Windows 10 and 11 Photos, macOS Preview (Big Sur and later), iPhone (iOS 14 and later), Android, Photoshop (2022 and later), and GIMP.
What is a BMP file?
BMP is the uncompressed bitmap format from early versions of Windows. It stores every pixel as is, so quality is perfect but files are large, often ten times the size of a PNG. Today it's mostly needed by older software, embedded devices, and some printers and label makers. It opens in Windows Paint and Photos, macOS Preview, browsers, and nearly every image editor.
Good to know
What changes when you convert WebP to BMP
- BMP is lossless, so the image won't lose any more quality, but it can't restore detail that WebP compression already removed. Expect a bigger file.
- BMP has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white. You can pick another background color.
- Only the first frame of an animated WebP is kept.
- BMP files are saved uncompressed, so they're large but lossless.
- Metadata such as the camera model, date, and GPS location isn't copied to the new file, so you don't share your location by accident.
- Very large images, around 100 megapixels or more, can exceed what the browser allows, especially on phones.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is this WebP to BMP converter free?
Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you convert. It costs Ethical Tube nothing to run, because the conversion happens on your own device rather than on a server.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser with the browser's built-in image codecs plus small WebAssembly encoders, so your files never leave your device. Once the page has loaded, it even works offline.
Does converting WebP to BMP lose quality?
No. BMP is lossless, so the converted image has exactly the pixels of the WebP. It can't undo compression that the WebP already has, though, and the file may be bigger.
What happens to transparent backgrounds?
BMP can't store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white by default. You can choose any other background color before converting.
Can I convert several WebP files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like. They're converted one after another, and you can download each BMP file as soon as it's ready or all of them in one ZIP file.
Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows?
Yes. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, on computers, iPhones, and Android phones.
What can open a BMP file?
Windows Paint and Photos, macOS Preview, browsers, and nearly every image editor.
Is there a file size limit?
There's no upload limit because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: everyday files are fine, and most computers handle images up to about 100 megapixels.
