Rendered composition
Uses the saved merged RGB/grayscale image. Layers are not recomposited; 16-bit, CMYK and PSB are not supported.

What happens when you convert PSD to BMP?
HDR to SDR
HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
Encoding mode
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. The output uses the implemented still-image encoder; file size depends on the pixels and format.

Compression: Depends on variantTransparency: YesMetadata: DIB header, ICC (V5)
Windows raster storage with several DIB header versions. Simple uncompressed pixels are common, but alpha and compression vary.

Good choice when
- BMP fits your delivery use: Windows bitmap interchange.
- You need a rendered delivery copy of the composition.
- You need an SDR delivery copy and can review its tone mapping.
- You need a transparency-capable destination and will check its supported variant.
Probably not when
- You must keep masks, layer effects or editable text.
- You need the original HDR range for relighting or grading.
- 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.
PSD to BMP conversion details
- Rendered composition
- Uses the saved merged RGB/grayscale image. Layers are not recomposited; 16-bit, CMYK and PSB are not supported.
- HDR to SDR
- HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
- Transparency representation
- The implemented target supports alpha. Display-pixel processing can round translucent samples; archival sample equality is not promised.
- Encoding mode
- 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. 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
- PSD: Lossless → BMP: Depends on variant PSD: PSD channel compression is lossless, but a document may contain previously lossy source assets. Composite rendering and layer editing are different capabilities; this page does not claim portable animation playback. 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.
- Transparency
- Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options.
- Colour depth
- PSD: 8 / 16 / 32 bits/channel → BMP: 1 / 4 / 8 / 16 / 24 / 32 bpp
- HDR
- PSD: 32-bit workflows
- Layers
- PSD: Layers & masks
- 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
Will the editable PSD layers survive?
Uses the saved merged RGB/grayscale image. Layers are not recomposited; 16-bit, CMYK and PSB are not supported.
How will HDR brightness be mapped?
HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
Which compression mode will BMP use?
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. 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.
