About the HEIC to BMP Converter
This HEIC to BMP converter turns photos from HEIC into BMP without installing software or uploading anything. It solves a common problem: Windows PCs, many Android phones and most upload portals cannot open HEIC photos. Converting to BMP gives you a raw bitmap for legacy software, ideal for legacy Windows software, embedded displays, machine vision and printing tools that need raw pixels.
The converter decodes your HEIC with your browser's own image engine and writes the BMP with a small open-source BMP encoder, so quality settings are applied precisely. Because everything happens on your own device, your photos are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for ID photos, Aadhaar or PAN scans and personal pictures.
What to expect: BMP stores the pixels without further quality loss; camera metadata such as GPS location is removed because the image is re-encoded.
How to use the HEIC to BMP Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your HEIC photos onto the box. You can add several at once.
- Optionally set a maximum width to resize while converting; leave it empty to keep the original size.
- Press "Convert to BMP". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each BMP file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in Windows Paint or Windows Photos to check it; your original HEIC is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- BMP files are uncompressed and large (a 12 MP photo is about 36 MB); transparent areas are flattened onto white.
- Converting a compressed HEIC to BMP will not bring back detail that was already discarded; it simply prevents further loss when you edit.
- iPhone users can avoid HEIC altogether: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible makes the camera save JPG photos.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the BMP to a website or government portal.

What is the difference between HEIC and BMP?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container (HEIF)) is a high-efficiency photo format best suited to storing iPhone photos efficiently on Apple devices. BMP (Windows Bitmap) is a uncompressed raster image best suited to legacy Windows software, embedded displays, machine vision and printing tools that need raw pixels.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: files of a few hundred megabytes work on most computers, and phones handle smaller files comfortably.

What is a HEIC file?
HEIC is the photo format iPhones and iPads use by default since iOS 11. It stores a photo in about half the space of a JPG at the same quality, but many Windows PCs, websites and government portals still refuse to open it.
What is a BMP file?
BMP is the classic Windows bitmap format. It stores raw pixel data with little or no compression, so files are large, but almost every old program, embedded device and industrial machine can read it.
