What changes when you convert BMP to GIF

  • BMP image is lossless and GIF image is lossy: the quality slider decides how much detail is traded for size, and output files are usually far smaller.
  • GIF image supports transparency, but the source has none to keep — nothing is invented.
  • Transparency is 1-bit (a pixel is opaque or fully transparent), unlike PNG's gradient alpha.

  1. Add your BMP file — drag it onto the page or choose it. It stays on your device.
  2. Pick GIF as the output format.
  3. Press convert and download the result — individually or as one ZIP.
