Select TIFF file

TIFF cannot be decoded by browsers, so the file is converted on our server, in memory, and never stored. Need test files? Try our free sample files.

This free TIFF to BMP converter turns your .tif images into .bmp files. TIFF comes out of scanners, cameras in raw workflows and print shops. It is lossless and often enormous, and no browser will display it, so it has to be converted before it goes anywhere near the web.

Because browsers cannot decode TIFF, 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 TIFF to BMP

  1. Drop your TIFF files onto the box above, or click it to choose from your computer. Up to 20 at once.
  2. The conversion starts as soon as the file is read — there is nothing to configure.
  3. Download each converted file, or pick them up one by one from the list.

What changes when you convert TIFF to BMP

BMP has no transparency. Anything transparent in your TIFF is composited onto a white background, which is the usual expectation but worth knowing if your image was designed to sit on a colour.

TIFF: The lossless workhorse of print, scanning and archiving. Can hold multiple pages and very high bit depths, which makes the files large and keeps browsers from displaying them.

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 TIFF to BMP?

Drop your .tif 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 TIFF 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 TIFF. 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 TIFF 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 TIFF 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.
