About the formats
AVIF
AV1 Image File Format
AVIF is a next-generation image format built on the AV1 video codec. It produces files smaller still than WebP at the same quality and supports transparency and HDR.
BMP
Windows Bitmap
BMP is the native bitmap format of Windows. It usually stores pixels with no compression at all, so it is lossless but files are very large.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting AVIF to BMP free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.
What happens to a transparent background?
BMP has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white. You can choose black or any other colour in the settings.
Does converting to BMP improve quality?
No. BMP keeps the current picture exactly but cannot restore detail lost when the AVIF was saved. The benefit is that further edits will not degrade it any more.
Are animated images converted too?
Only the first frame is converted to BMP. To keep the animation, convert to MP4 or WEBM.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
