Why convert SVG to BMP?
SVG is a vector format that describes images with math, so it scales to any size while staying perfectly crisp. BMP is an uncompressed raster format that stores raw pixel data, yielding large but universally readable files.
Because SVG is a vector format and BMP is a raster (pixel) format, the conversion rasterizes your artwork at a fixed resolution — so choose the largest size you will need, since the BMP no longer scales infinitely without quality loss. BMP does not support transparency, so any transparent areas in your SVG are flattened onto a solid white background. BMP is lossless, so quality is preserved perfectly; expect the file to be larger than a compressed SVG. BMP is readable by virtually all legacy Windows software.
Pixohub converts SVG to BMP entirely inside your browser using the HTML canvas API, so your images are never uploaded to a server. That makes conversion instant, completely private, and free — turn as many SVG files into BMP as you like. Reach for BMP whenever you need maximum compatibility with legacy Windows software and raw, lossless pixels.
SVG vs BMP: what to expect
SVG is best for logos, icons, and illustrations that must stay sharp at every size, while BMP shines for maximum compatibility with legacy Windows software and raw, lossless pixels. Keep your original SVG if you may later need its transparency, and export a BMP copy for compatibility and editing.
