What happens when you convert BMP to TIFF?

Encoding mode

TIFF is not intrinsically lossless or uncompressed. Read the Compression, BitsPerSample and SampleFormat tags; decoder support varies across schemes. The output uses the implemented still-image encoder; file size depends on the pixels and format.

Sample precision & colour

Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.

Windows raster storage with several DIB header versions. Simple uncompressed pixels are common, but alpha and compression vary.

Is BMP → TIFF right for you?

Good choice when

  • TIFF fits your delivery use: Scans & raster interchange.
  • You need a transparency-capable destination and will check its supported variant.
  • Your receiving application supports the required TIFF variant.
  • You can validate the destination’s sample precision and colour interpretation.

Probably not when

  • You assume format-level alpha support guarantees matching transparent edges.
  • You need a guaranteed output file size or archival pixel equality. Encoder settings do not guarantee either.
  • You require identical samples without a defined colour and precision policy.

BMP to TIFF conversion details

Transparency representation
The implemented target supports alpha. Display-pixel processing can round translucent samples; archival sample equality is not promised.
Encoding mode
TIFF is not intrinsically lossless or uncompressed. Read the Compression, BitsPerSample and SampleFormat tags; decoder support varies across schemes. The output uses the implemented still-image encoder; file size depends on the pixels and format.
Sample precision & colour
Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
Metadata & colour
Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
Compression
BMP: Depends on variant → TIFF: Depends on variant BMP: BMP may be uncompressed or use a header-selected encoding. Alpha is header-dependent; 32 bits alone do not establish transparency support in the receiving application. TIFF: TIFF is not intrinsically lossless or uncompressed. Read the Compression, BitsPerSample and SampleFormat tags; decoder support varies across schemes.
Transparency
Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options.
Colour depth
BMP: 1 / 4 / 8 / 16 / 24 / 32 bpp → TIFF: Tagged sample types
Multiple images
TIFF: Image directories
Dimensions
Rendered image dimensions are retained within the converter limits; this tool does not offer resizing. Orientation handling depends on the source decoder.
Metadata
Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.

Common questions

Which compression mode will TIFF use?

TIFF is not intrinsically lossless or uncompressed. Read the Compression, BitsPerSample and SampleFormat tags; decoder support varies across schemes. The output uses the implemented still-image encoder; file size depends on the pixels and format.

Are bit depth and colour values guaranteed to match?

Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.

Will metadata and colour profiles be retained?

Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
