About BMP
BMP is the device-independent bitmap format of Windows. It usually stores every pixel uncompressed.
Legacy Windows software, simple paint programs and embedded systems.
Without compression a BMP is many times larger than a PNG of the same image.
Convert BMP to PDF online free, no account required — PDF is the fixed-layout document standard.
Change BMP to PDF without losing quality — convert BMP to PDF free in your browser.
Why is my BMP file so enormous compared to the same picture as PNG? The Windows bitmap stores pixels raw with no compression at all, so even a small screenshot can weigh megabytes that PNG stores in kilobytes.
About PDF
PDF (Portable Document Format) is the ISO 32000 standard for fixed-layout documents that look the same on every device.
Sharing, printing and archiving documents; here PDF is an output format for images, drawings and e-books.
This service only creates PDFs; editing, merging or converting existing PDFs is the job of NexDocs.
Why convert documents to PDF? The layout looks identical on every device and printer, which is exactly why forms, invoices and papers are exchanged as PDF.
What changes when you convert BMP to PDF
- The BMP image is placed at full resolution on a PDF page of the same size and its pixels are stored without further loss; transparent areas are filled with the background colour (white unless you choose another in the settings).
Settings you can change
Before you convert BMP to PDF, you can adjust: Width, Height, Scale fit, Crop position, Never enlarge, Quality, Lossless, Progressive, Remove metadata, Auto-orient from EXIF, Rotate, and Background.
Limits
Each plan sets a maximum file size and a number of conversions per day, and video and audio files also have a maximum length. Guests can convert files up to 100 megabytes and 5 per day; a free account raises this to 500 megabytes and 25 per day; paid plans go up to 100 gigabytes.
Your converted PDF file is kept for 2 hours, then deleted.
