Free TIFF to BMP converter online
Need a BMP instead of a TIFF? This free converter turns TIFF 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.
TIFF is the workhorse format of scanners, printers, publishers and photo archives. It can store images uncompressed or with lossless compression, several pages in one file, and lots of metadata. TIFF files are huge and most browsers, phones and websites can't display them, so they usually need converting before sharing online.
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.
