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.
Convert TIFF to BMP online free, no account required — BMP is the Windows bitmap format, usually uncompressed.
Change TIFF to BMP without losing quality — convert TIFF to BMP free in your browser.
Why are my scanned TIFF files hundreds of megabytes? TIFF keeps every detail for print and archival, usually uncompressed — after the archive copy is safe, a JPG or PNG version is far easier to send and share.
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.
Why convert an image to BMP? Rarely on purpose: only legacy Windows software and some industrial tools expect uncompressed bitmaps.
What changes when you convert TIFF to BMP
- TIFF and BMP both store pixels without loss, so the picture carries over pixel for pixel.
Settings you can change
Before you convert TIFF to BMP, 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 BMP file is kept for 2 hours, then deleted.
