BMP vs GIF: Understanding the Difference

BMP (Bitmap Image File)

BMP is a raster graphics format that stores images without compression, resulting in large file sizes but perfect quality preservation.

•Compression: uncompressed

•Transparency: No

•Animation: No

•Since: 1986

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)

GIF is a bitmap format that supports animation and a limited color palette of 256 colors, making it popular for simple animations and graphics.

•Compression: lossless (limited colors)

•Transparency: Yes

•Animation: Yes

•Since: 1987

Converting from uncompressed Bitmap Image File to Graphics Interchange Format will significantly reduce file size while maintaining good visual quality.

Graphics Interchange Format supports transparency, but since Bitmap Image File doesn't include transparency data, your converted image will have a solid background.

When to use BMP:

•Windows system graphics
•applications requiring raw pixel data
•legacy software compatibility
•printing when file size doesn't matter

When to use GIF:

•simple animations
•memes and reaction images
•simple graphics with few colors
•logos with flat colors
