Convert HEIC to BMP
What is HEIC?
HEIC
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) uses HEVC (H.265) compression for approximately 50% better compression than JPG while maintaining similar quality. Part of HEIF standard (ISO/IEC 23008-12). Supports transparency, animation, multiple images, and metadata. Default format for iOS photos since iPhone 7. Maximum resolution 65,536×65,536 pixels. Requires royalty-bearing codec licenses.
- HEIC uses lossless compression for perfect quality image storage
- Alpha channel transparency requires background color for BMP conversion
- Modern format—requires up-to-date software for compatibility
What is BMP?
BMP
BMP (Bitmap) stores uncompressed raster images as raw pixel data with optional RLE compression. Developed by Microsoft. Simple structure: header, color palette (for indexed colors), and pixel array. No compression in standard form results in large file sizes. Supports 1-bit to 32-bit color depths. Maximum resolution 65,535×65,535 pixels. Lossless quality but inefficient storage. Limited web use due to size.
- BMP uses lossless compression for perfect quality image storage
- Opaque image data converts to HEIC without utilizing transparency features
- No transparency support—requires opaque backgrounds
