GIF to BMP Conversion
GIF is a format known for its ability to support animations. However, it is limited to a palette of 256 colors, which can make photographs look grainy. GIFs are best used for simple graphics and small animations.
BMP (Bitmap) is an uncompressed raster image format. It stores color data for every pixel without any compression, resulting in very large file sizes. While it offers high quality, its large size makes it impractical for web use.
Frequently Asked Questions
GIF's 256-color palette limitation severely restricts image quality. Converting to BMP removes the color palette restriction, though both GIF and BMP are outdated for modern use - PNG offers better quality than both with smaller file sizes.
Converting GIF to BMP creates an uncompressed file with slightly better color representation (if the source wasn't already 256-color limited) but massively inflated file sizes - a 100KB GIF becomes 5-15MB as BMP. This conversion makes limited practical sense - BMP's uncompressed nature doesn't recover the quality already lost to GIF's 256-color restriction. Only useful for specific legacy software requiring BMP input, certain vintage DOS applications, or industrial systems with hardcoded BMP requirements. For general use, convert GIF to PNG instead for better quality and reasonable file sizes.
