This converter turns BMP images into TIFF files without uploading anything. The conversion runs inside this page using your own device's processor, so your photos never leave your computer — there is no server copy to worry about, no queue to wait in, and no limit on how many files you convert.
BMP is Microsoft’s raw, uncompressed bitmap format — every pixel stored literally, with no compression at all. Strong on Windows, weak everywhere else, and never used online. TIFF, by contrast, standard in print and archival software; unsupported in every web browser.
How to convert BMP to TIFF
- Add your BMP files. Drag them onto the box above, click to browse, or paste an image straight from your clipboard. You can add as many at once as you like.
- Adjust the settings if you need to. The defaults suit most images. TIFF is lossless, so there is no quality setting to adjust.
- Download the TIFF file. Each file gets its own download button as soon as it finishes, and you can pull the whole batch down as a single ZIP.
What happens to the file size
Measured, not estimated: two 1200 x 800 pixels references — a photograph and a flat-colour graphic — put through this converter.
| Reference image | As BMP | As TIFF | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photograph | 2.75 MB | 3.66 MB | +33% |
| Graphic with text | 2.75 MB | 3.66 MB | +33% |
Yours will differ: size depends more on what is in the picture than on the formats involved.
About BMP (Windows Bitmap)
BMP is Microsoft’s raw, uncompressed bitmap format — every pixel stored literally, with no compression at all.
Where you probably got it: Legacy Windows applications, scanners, and industrial equipment.
Strengths
- Dead simple and completely lossless
- Read by even the most primitive Windows tooling and embedded devices
- No decoding overhead, which some industrial and medical systems require
Limitations
- Enormous files — often 10–20x larger than a PNG of the same image
- Poorly supported on the web; browsers can display it but nobody serves it
- No transparency in the widely supported 24-bit form, so transparent areas are filled with a solid colour
About TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
TIFF is the lossless archival format used by scanners, print shops and professional photographers.
Support: Standard in print and archival software; unsupported in every web browser.
Strengths
- Lossless and high bit depth — the standard for archiving and printing
- Can hold multiple pages, layers and rich metadata
- The expected deliverable format for most commercial print work
Limitations
- No browser will display it, so it is useless on the web
- Very large files
- So many optional variants that readers disagree on what is valid
Is it safe to convert BMP online?
Here, yes — and you can check rather than trust. Open your browser’s developer tools, switch to the Network tab and convert a BMP file: no request carrying your image is made. Disconnect from the internet after this page has loaded and the converter still works, which would be impossible if a server were doing the conversion.
That is worth verifying wherever you convert, because most online converters do upload, and BMP files are so often personal photos and documents people would not hand to a stranger. Once a file is on somebody else’s server you are relying on a privacy policy rather than on anything you can observe. We wrote up how to tell a safe converter from a risky one in more detail.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert BMP to TIFF?
Drag your BMP file onto the box above, or click it to browse. The conversion starts immediately in your browser and the TIFF download appears within a second or two for most images. You can drop in a whole folder of files at once and download them together as a ZIP.
Are my BMP files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion happens locally in your browser, so your files are never transmitted anywhere — the tool even works with the network disconnected once the page has loaded. That is also why there is no file size or file count limit: nothing costs us anything per conversion. The practical ceiling is your own device's memory, which on a phone means very large images may fail.
Will converting BMP to TIFF reduce the quality?
No. Both BMP and TIFF are lossless, so every pixel is preserved exactly.
What is the difference between BMP and TIFF?
BMP is Microsoft’s raw, uncompressed bitmap format — every pixel stored literally, with no compression at all. TIFF is the lossless archival format used by scanners, print shops and professional photographers. In practice the choice comes down to compatibility: strong on Windows, weak everywhere else, and never used online. Meanwhile standard in print and archival software; unsupported in every web browser.
