This free HEIC to BMP converter turns your .heic images into .bmp files. HEIC is what an iPhone saves by default. It is half the size of JPG, and Windows, Android, most web forms and most editing software will not open it, so it usually has to be converted before anyone else can see it.
Because browsers cannot decode HEIC, this one runs on our server: the file is converted in memory and sent straight back. It is never written to disk, never logged and never stored.
How to convert HEIC to BMP

- The conversion starts as soon as the file is read — there is nothing to configure.
- Download each converted file, or pick them up one by one from the list.
What changes when you convert HEIC to BMP
BMP has no transparency. Anything transparent in your HEIC is composited onto a white background, which is the usual expectation but worth knowing if your image was designed to sit on a colour.
BMP is lossless, but it cannot restore what HEIC already discarded. The output will be larger than the input and no sharper — you are preserving the current state, not recovering the original.
HEIC and BMP compared

| MIME type | image/heic | image/bmp |
| Compression | Lossy | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | No |
HEIC: What an iPhone saves by default. Roughly half the size of JPG, but Windows, Android and most web apps cannot open it without extra software, so it usually has to be converted before it can be shared.
BMP: Uncompressed raw pixels, which makes the files enormous and the format trivial to parse. Mostly encountered coming out of legacy Windows software and scanners.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert HEIC to BMP?
Drop your .heic file onto the box on this page and the .bmp file is ready to download in a second or two. There is no signup, no email, no watermark and no file limit beyond about 4 MB per upload — larger images are re-encoded smaller in your browser first, and the page says so when that happens.
Is this HEIC to BMP converter free?
Yes, completely, with no account, no trial and no watermark on the output. We are a consultancy and these tools exist because we needed them ourselves; there is nothing to buy on this page.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
This one has to run on our server, because browsers cannot read HEIC. The file is converted in memory and returned immediately — it is never written to disk, never logged and never stored. If that is not acceptable for your file, use a desktop tool instead.
Will converting to BMP reduce the quality?
BMP has no transparency. Anything transparent in your HEIC is composited onto a white background, which is the usual expectation but worth knowing if your image was designed to sit on a colour.
Can I convert several HEIC files at once?
Yes, up to 20 files in one go. Drop them all onto the box together and each one appears in the results list with its own download button.
