About this tool

BMP is an old uncompressed bitmap format that produces large files but is read by almost any program. SVG is a vector format written as XML text, so it stays sharp at any size. Choosing between them depends on where the image will be used: BMP is common for legacy Windows software and simple pixel data, while SVG suits logos, icons and illustrations that must scale.

The BMP image is embedded inside an SVG container, so you get an .svg file that works wherever SVG is accepted, but the picture itself stays made of pixels. It is not converted into vector paths, so it will not stay sharp when enlarged.

The conversion uses your browser's own image engine, so nothing is uploaded and there is no file size limit beyond your device's memory. Very large images over 100 megapixels are refused to avoid freezing the page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose quality converting BMP to SVG?
The pixels are embedded unchanged, so there is no quality loss, but there is also no vector benefit.
Is transparency kept?
BMP has no transparency, so there is none to keep.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser and the files never leave your device.
