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 TIFF online free, no account required — TIFF is a flexible image format for print, scanning and archiving.
Change BMP to TIFF without losing quality — convert BMP to TIFF 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 TIFF
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible image format from 1986 that can store lossless or lossy images, several pages and high bit depths in one file.
Scanning, printing and publishing, and archiving master images.
Uncompressed or losslessly compressed TIFFs are very large, and most web browsers do not display TIFF.
Why convert photos to TIFF? For print and archiving: no compression surprises, deep colour support, and every photo lab and printer accepts it.
What changes when you convert BMP to TIFF
