SVG vs BMP: Format Comparison
Key differences between the two formats
| Feature | SVG | BMP |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Vector (mathematical paths) | Raster (raw pixels) |
| Scalability | Infinite resolution | Fixed pixel dimensions |
| Compression | Text-based (XML), gzippable | Uncompressed (raw data) |
| File size | Small for simple graphics | Large (raw pixel data) |
| Transparency | Full alpha channel | Limited (32-bit BMP only) |
| Editability | Code-editable paths | Pixel-level editing |
| Platform | Web browsers, design tools | Native to Windows |
| Best for | Scalable logos, icons, UI | Raw editing, Windows apps, printing |
When to Convert
Common scenarios where this conversion is useful
Feeding vector art into image processing software
Scientific and industrial image processing tools often expect uncompressed BMP input. Convert your SVG diagrams to BMP for direct pixel analysis.
Windows application resources
Some Windows legacy applications and embedded systems require BMP format. Convert SVG icons and graphics to BMP for compatibility.
High-quality printing from vector sources
When a printer or engraver requires uncompressed raster input, converting SVG to BMP ensures no compression artifacts affect the print quality.
Creating textures for 3D applications
Some 3D modeling tools and game engines prefer BMP textures. Convert your SVG patterns and designs to BMP for use as surface textures.
How to Convert SVG to BMP
-
1
Drop your SVG file
Drag and drop your SVG file into the converter area, or click browse to select it from your device.
-
2
Instant conversion
Your browser renders the SVG on a canvas at its native dimensions and exports the raw pixel data as an uncompressed BMP bitmap.
-
3
Download your BMP
Save the converted BMP file. The output is an uncompressed bitmap with the same dimensions as the rendered SVG.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common reasons include compatibility with legacy Windows software, image processing that requires raw pixel data, industrial printing requirements, and 3D modeling texture workflows.
BMP stores raw uncompressed pixel data with no compression. A 1000x1000 pixel image requires about 3MB as 24-bit BMP. This is normal behavior for the format.
The BMP uses the SVG's specified width and height. If your SVG has no explicit dimensions, it renders at the browser's default size. Set dimensions in your SVG for control over the output resolution.
No. Rasterization is a one-way process. The vector path data in the SVG is lost when converted to pixels. Always keep your original SVG files.
Standard 24-bit BMP does not support transparency. Transparent areas in your SVG will be rendered with a solid background (typically white). 32-bit BMP can store alpha but not all applications support it.
PNG is usually the better choice for rasterized SVGs (smaller files, transparency support). Choose BMP only when you specifically need uncompressed pixel data or compatibility with legacy systems.
Yes. All rendering and conversion happens in your browser. Your SVG files are never uploaded to any server, keeping your designs completely private.
SVGs with embedded fonts should render correctly. SVGs that reference external font files may fall back to system fonts. For best results, convert text to paths in your SVG editor before converting.
