Convert TIFF to BMP
Turn TIFF scans and print files into BMP bitmaps for older software. Everything happens in your browser, so your images never leave your device.
Why convert TIFF to BMP?
TIFF keeps full quality, but files are huge and browsers, email and most websites don't handle them well. BMP is simple and uncompressed, and some older or specialised software won't take anything else.
Quality is preserved
TIFF and BMP are both lossless, so every pixel carries over exactly. BMP is usually uncompressed, so the file will be noticeably larger than the TIFF.
Where BMP files work
Windows and macOS open BMP, as do most image editors and browsers, but websites and upload forms rarely accept it.

Questions
Will converting TIFF to BMP reduce quality?
No. Both formats are lossless, so every pixel is kept exactly.
Can I convert several TIFF files at once?
Yes. Add as many TIFF files as you like and they're converted one after another on your device. There's no file-size or file-count limit beyond your device's memory, and you can download the results together as a zip.
Are my TIFF images uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, on your own device, so your images are never sent to a server. Once the page and converter have loaded, it keeps working even if your connection drops.
