How do I convert BMP to SVG without losing image quality?
+
Upload your BMP file and our converter applies format-aware quality optimization for SVG output. For lossless targets (PNG, TIFF, BMP) every pixel is preserved bit-for-bit; for lossy targets (JPG, WebP) you can tune the quality factor (default 90) before download.
Does BMP to SVG conversion preserve transparency?
+
Transparency survives when SVG is PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, or SVG. Converting to JPG flattens the alpha channel against a white background — if you need transparency, pick a transparency-aware target instead of SVG.
Will my colour profile (sRGB / Adobe RGB / CMYK) survive BMP to SVG?
+
Embedded ICC colour profiles are read from the source BMP and re-attached to the SVG output where the format supports it (JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP). Formats without profile support fall back to sRGB with a soft-proof step.
What happens to EXIF metadata when converting BMP to SVG?
+
Camera EXIF (ISO, shutter, lens, GPS) is preserved by default during BMP -> SVG when both formats support metadata. Use the privacy toggle to strip metadata before download if you want to share images without geolocation or device-fingerprint exposure.
Can I batch-convert hundreds of BMP files to SVG at once?
+
Yes — drag multiple BMP files into the upload zone and they queue in parallel. Free tier accepts 100 MB per file; Premium has no per-file cap and runs more parallel workers, so a 200-image batch typically finishes in under two minutes.
How does BMP to SVG compare to Photoshop / GIMP for the same task?
+
For straightforward format conversion we run the same libpng / libjpeg-turbo / libwebp / ImageMagick pipelines a desktop editor uses, at the same quality. The difference is that desktop tools open one file at a time; we accept a batch and run them in parallel on server-side workers.
What resolution and dimensions does the SVG file have?
+
Default behaviour is 1:1 — your SVG output has the same pixel dimensions as the source BMP. If you need to resize as part of the conversion, use /resize-image/ after, or chain the operations with the /image-pipeline/ utility.
How small can the SVG file get without visible artifacts?
+
For JPG / WebP, quality 75-85 typically yields a SVG 60-80% smaller than the BMP with no visible difference at normal viewing distance. For lossless SVG (PNG, TIFF), expect smaller savings — usually 5-30% via better deflate / LZW compression than the source already had.
Are my BMP files private during conversion?
+
Yes — uploaded BMP files are processed in isolated workers and deleted within minutes. We never read, store, or share the pixel data. The full retention window is documented at /privacy/.
Does the BMP to SVG converter work for very large images (50MP+)?
+
Yes for free up to 100 MB. Premium handles much larger inputs (300 MB+) and exotic per-pixel depths (16-bit PNG, 32-bit float TIFF, HEIF 10-bit). The pipeline streams pixel rows so memory use scales with row count, not total pixel count.
Why is my converted SVG file bigger or smaller than expected?
+
A BMP file with strong compression (heavily lossy JPG) often grows when re-encoded into a lossless SVG (PNG, TIFF), and a high-bitrate lossless BMP often shrinks dramatically when going to JPG/WebP. The ratio depends on the image content (photos compress differently from line-art or screenshots).
Can I use the converted SVG file commercially?
+
Yes. The conversion is a format change — copyright on the image content stays with whoever held it on the source BMP. We add no watermark, no metadata stamp, and claim no licence over the SVG output.
