FAQ
Does the GIF output have transparency?
Only if the source image had transparency. BMP files do not contain an alpha channel, so the resulting GIF file will have an opaque background. To add transparency, edit the image first.
Is the BMP to GIF converter free?
Yes. The full converter catalog is free. There is no upgrade tier, no quota, no watermark, and no signup.
Do my files upload to a server?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Open the Network tab in DevTools while you convert — you will not see your file leaving the page.
Why convert BMP to GIF?
BMP is uncompressed bitmap, large files, broad legacy support. GIF is 256-color palette, supports animation, transparency via 1-bit alpha. Converting between them is useful when the destination platform expects GIF or when you want the trade-offs that GIF offers.
What is the maximum file size?
Whatever your browser can hold in memory. On a modern desktop browser, several hundred megabytes is usually fine; on mobile, expect tighter limits.
