Free SVG to BMP converter online
Need a BMP instead of a SVG? This free converter turns SVG files into BMP images right in your browser. Add as many files as you like, adjust the settings and download the results individually or together as a ZIP.
SVG is a vector format: instead of pixels it stores shapes as XML code, so it stays perfectly sharp at any size. Social networks, email clients, office apps and most upload forms do not accept SVG though, so you often need a raster copy. FileStripe lets you choose the output width so the result is crisp.
BMP is an uncompressed bitmap format from early Windows. Because it stores every pixel raw, BMP files are enormous (a 12 megapixel photo is about 36 MB) but they are trivially simple, so old software, microcontrollers, label printers and some games still require them.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert SVG to BMP?
Open this page, add your SVG files, and FileStripe converts them to BMP in your browser. Then download the files one by one or as a ZIP. It takes a few seconds and you don't need to install anything.
Will converting SVG to BMP reduce quality?
No further quality is lost. BMP is lossless, so the BMP file looks exactly like the decoded SVG.
Can I convert multiple SVG files to BMP at once?
Yes. Select or drop as many SVG files as you like; there is no limit on the number or size of files.
What resolution will the PNG be?
Choose the output width; the height follows the SVG's aspect ratio. Use 2x or 3x the display size for crisp results on high-DPI screens.
Is the SVG to BMP free?
Yes. The SVG to BMP is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, no daily limits and no premium tier.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. FileStripe processes your files locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, so the SVG to BMP is safe for private photos and confidential documents and even works offline once the page has loaded.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The SVG to BMP works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone you can pick files from your photo library or files app and share the result straight to another app.
