Convert BMP to QOI
QOI is a modern lossless format with very fast decoding. Almost no web tool can produce it. Everything happens locally: BMP files are decoded by your browser and written back out as QOI without ever touching a server.

What is BMP?
A format that has shipped with Windows since 1990. Uncompressed and predictable, which is why industrial and legacy software still emits it.
Why convert BMP to QOI?
QOI is a modern lossless format with very fast decoding. Almost no web tool can produce it.
BMP files are typically several times larger than a PNG of the same image, and browsers treat them inconsistently on the web.
How this converter handles BMP
We decode 24-bit and 32-bit BI_RGB bitmaps in both bottom-up and top-down orientation.
Why the conversion happens on your device
This page is a static file. There is no upload endpoint, no queue and no server-side conversion step — the work is done by JavaScript running in your own browser. That has three practical consequences:
- Nothing is transmitted. Open your browser's network panel and confirm it yourself.
- No file size limit. Server-based converters cap uploads and throttle repeat use. Your machine has no such quota.
- No queue. Conversion starts immediately and runs at local speed.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this really free?
- Yes, with no account, no watermark and no per-file limit. There is no server cost to recover because no server is involved.
- Are my files uploaded?
- No. The page has no backend to upload to. You can verify this in your browser's developer tools, or by loading the page and disconnecting from the internet before converting.
- Does converting BMP to QOI lose quality?
- No. QOI is lossless, so the pixels are preserved exactly. The file may be larger or smaller than the original, but it will look identical.
- Can I convert many files at once?
- Yes — drop a batch and they are processed one after another.
- What if my browser cannot decode BMP?
- For formats browsers do not support natively (TGA, QOI, PPM/PGM/PBM, farbfeld, BMP, ICO) FormatAtlas ships its own decoder, so support does not depend on your browser version.
