Animation becomes a still
Still image output. Animated files use only the first frame; animation is not preserved.

What happens when you convert WebP to BMP?
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: Lossy & losslessTransparency: YesMetadata: Exif, XMP, ICC
A web image format combining lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation in a RIFF container.

Windows Bitmap
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 want a still illustration from an animated source.
- You need a transparency-capable destination and will check its supported variant.
- Your receiving application supports the required BMP variant.
Probably not when
- Motion, frame timing or loop behaviour must survive.
- 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.
WebP to BMP conversion details
- Animation becomes a still
- Still image output. Animated files use only the first frame; animation is not preserved.
- 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
- WebP: Lossy & lossless → BMP: Depends on variant WebP: Lossy VP8 and lossless VP8L are different coding modes. Lossless WebP preserves supported 8-bit samples, not higher-precision source values. Encoding options can also change RGB values under fully transparent pixels. 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.
- Animation
- Still image output. Animated files use only the first frame; animation is not preserved.
- Colour depth
- WebP: 8 bits/sample → BMP: 1 / 4 / 8 / 16 / 24 / 32 bpp
- 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 output keep animation?
Still image output. Animated files use only the first frame; animation is not preserved.
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.
