How to convert AVIF to BMP
- Drop your AVIF files on the box above, or click it to choose them (up to 30 at once).
- Press Convert. Each file is processed on your device and shows its old and new size.
- Download the files one by one or take them all as a ZIP.
What changes when you convert AVIF to BMP
- Every decoded pixel is written exactly — BMP is lossless here. Converting cannot restore detail AVIF compression already discarded; it only stops further loss.
- BMP cannot store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white — what image editors do when saving to BMP.
- An animated AVIF becomes a single still image (the first frame).
- Camera details and GPS location (EXIF) are not copied into the new file. Photo orientation is applied to the pixels first, so the result is the right way up.
- Expect a much larger file: BMP here is uncompressed, about width × height × 3 bytes — roughly 36 MB for a 12-megapixel photo.
About AVIF and BMP files
AVIF is a newer web format built on the AV1 video codec. It compresses even better than WebP, but many editors, phones’ gallery apps and upload forms still cannot open it.
BMP is the old Windows bitmap format. It stores every pixel uncompressed, so files are very large, but almost any program — including very old ones — can read it. It is a good choice for old software, embedded devices and tools that only accept plain bitmaps.
Limits
Up to 30 files of 25 MB each per batch and images up to 50 megapixels — beyond that browsers run out of memory, so the tool says so instead of producing a broken file. Reading AVIF needs a current browser (Chrome or Edge 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16.4+); an older one reports the file as unreadable. Files that are not images, or are damaged, are rejected with the reason.
