WEBP to BMP
Turn a modern WEBP image into a plain bitmap for software that's far older than the format.
WEBP to BMP for older software
WEBP arrived in 2010, and a lot of older software simply predates it. If you've got a Windows program, a machine controller or a game mod tool that only reads bitmaps, this WEBP to BMP converter gets your image into a form it can use.
The conversion happens in your browser. You drop the file, press one button, and get a standard 24-bit BMP.
How to convert WEBP to BMP
One file at a time, and there's nothing to configure before you press the button.
- 1
Select the WEBP
Click the box and choose one .webp file, or drag it from your downloads.
- 2
Press Convert to BMP
It's decoded and written out as 24-bit pixels. Any transparency blends with white.
- 3
Use the bitmap
Download the file and open it in your old program, or copy it to your device by USB or memory card as usual.
What changes in the conversion
| WEBP | BMP | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Strong | None |
| 1200 × 800 image | Often under 200 KB | About 2.9 MB |
| Transparency | Supported | Filled with white |
| Animation | Supported | First frame only |
| Readable by old software | Rarely | Almost always |
Tips before converting
- Size it for the target. Old programs and small displays often need exact dimensions. Use Resize Image first.
- Pick a background. If your WEBP is transparent and white won't look right, add a colored background in an editor before you convert.
- Try JPG first. If the program also accepts JPG, WEBP to JPG gives you a much smaller file. PNG is another option, via WEBP to PNG.
- Keep the WEBP. It's far smaller, and you can always convert it again.
Going the other way
If you've got old bitmaps you'd like to use on a website, BMP to WEBP turns them into very small files that load quickly. For sharing them with people, BMP to JPG is the simplest route.
Free, private and instant
You won't need an account, and no watermark is added. The image stays on your device for the whole process, and the conversion itself takes about a second.
Your WEBP isn't changed either.

Frequently asked questions
Drop the WEBP on this page and press Convert to BMP. A 24-bit bitmap is created in your browser and downloaded a moment later.
WEBP is heavily compressed and BMP isn't compressed at all. A 150 KB WEBP that measures 1200 × 800 pixels turns into a BMP of about 2.9 MB.
No. Transparent areas turn white, as this bitmap format has no alpha channel.
Only the first frame becomes a bitmap. BMP can't hold an animation.
24 bits per pixel, with eight bits each for red, green and blue. If a device needs a lower depth, such as 8-bit or monochrome, reduce it with an editor like GIMP or IrfanView after converting.
A few programs expect a particular size or color depth, rather than any bitmap. Check its documentation for the exact pixel dimensions and bit depth, then match them with Resize Image and an editor.
Often, yes. Most old software that can't read WEBP can read JPG, and the file will be far smaller. WEBP to JPG is worth trying first, unless BMP is specifically required.
Yes. Your image is processed entirely in the browser.
