Turn a GIF graphic into an uncompressed BMP for Windows programs, right in your browser.
Only GIF images are accepted on this page.
Your image never leaves your browser. Conversion happens on your own device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. BMP is uncompressed, so the converted file will be much larger than the GIF. An animated GIF converts to its first frame only. This tool writes a 32 bit BMP, so transparency is kept.
Some older Windows programs accept BMP but not GIF, and a BMP is the plainest image format there is. The GIF to BMP Converter turns your GIF graphic into a BMP that such programs can open directly.
Everything runs in your browser, so your images are never uploaded to a server. Choose a GIF file, convert it, and download the BMP straight to your device.
Use BMP only when a specific program asks for it, because BMP files are very large compared with GIF. A small GIF can become a BMP many times its size, since nothing is compressed. For sharing or web use, PNG or WebP is a far better choice. An animated GIF also becomes a still BMP here, because only the first frame is converted.
Yes, it is completely free with no sign up and no limits. You can convert as many GIF images as you like, as often as you like.
BMP is uncompressed, so every pixel is stored in full. The same image therefore takes far more space as a BMP than as a compressed GIF. That size is normal for BMP and is not a fault in the tool.
Only the first frame is converted, so the BMP will be a still image. The animation in the GIF is not carried over.
Yes. This tool writes a 32 bit BMP that keeps the alpha channel, so transparent pixels in the GIF stay transparent in the BMP.
No. The conversion happens in your browser on your own device, so your images never leave your computer.
The tool shows a clear message and does not convert anything. Choose a GIF image and try again.
