Convert SVG to BMP
Turn SVG graphics into BMP bitmaps for older software. Everything happens in your browser, so your graphics never leave your device.
Why convert SVG to BMP?
SVG is ideal on the web, but many apps, social networks and upload forms only take pixel images. BMP is simple and uncompressed, and some older or specialised software won't take anything else.
From vector shapes to pixels
An SVG describes shapes, so it can be drawn at any size. BMP stores a fixed grid of pixels, so the SVG is rendered at the size declared in the file (its width and height, or its viewBox). Once converted, the image won't scale up cleanly; if you need a bigger BMP, increase the width and height in the SVG first.
SVGs that load external fonts or images may render differently, because the file is drawn on its own. Embedding fonts or converting text to outlines gives reliable results.
Transparent areas get a background
BMP has no transparency, so any transparent parts of your SVG are filled with a solid colour. White is the default, and you can pick another colour before converting, for example to match the page or slide the image will sit on. If you need to keep the transparency, convert to PNG or WebP instead.
SVG and BMP compared
| Property | SVG | BMP |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | None (vector shapes stored as text) | Usually uncompressed |
| Transparency | Yes | No |
| Animation | No | No |
| Typical file size | Tiny for simple graphics | Very large |
| Best for | Logos, icons, illustrations | Legacy and embedded software |
| Support | Browsers and design tools | Desktop apps; rare on the web |
Questions
What happens to transparent areas when I convert SVG to BMP?
BMP can't store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a background colour. It's white by default, and you can choose any colour before converting.
Will converting SVG to BMP reduce quality?
SVG has no fixed resolution, so the BMP is rendered at the size the SVG declares. At that size it looks the same; it just won't scale up cleanly afterwards like the SVG does.
Are my SVG graphics uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, on your own device, so your graphics are never sent to a server. Once the page and converter have loaded, it keeps working even if your connection drops.
