TIFF vs BMP: Format Comparison
Key differences between the two formats
| Feature | TIFF | BMP |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless or none | Typically uncompressed |
| Color depth | Up to 32-bit | Up to 32-bit |
| Transparency | Alpha channel | Limited (32-bit BMP only) |
| File size | Large | Very large |
| Web support | Limited | Not supported in browsers |
| OS support | Cross-platform | Native Windows format |
| Best for | Print, archival | Windows applications, legacy software |
When to Convert
Common scenarios where this conversion is useful
Windows application assets
Convert TIFF images to BMP for use in Windows desktop applications, resource files, or legacy software that requires uncompressed bitmap format.
Printing and publishing pipelines
Some older RIP (Raster Image Processor) workflows and print pipelines require BMP source files. Convert your TIFF masters to BMP for compatibility.
Embedded systems and displays
Hardware displays, kiosks, and embedded systems often read BMP files directly due to their simple, uncompressed structure. Convert TIFF source artwork to BMP for deployment.
Image editing compatibility
Some specialized image tools and older graphics editors accept only BMP input. Convert your TIFF files to BMP to work within those toolchains.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. ChangeThisFile converts TIFF to BMP entirely client-side using the browser's canvas API. Your file never leaves your device.
BMP files are typically uncompressed, so they can be larger than TIFF files that use LZW or ZIP compression. The pixel data is identical — only the container and compression differ.
32-bit BMP supports an alpha channel for transparency, but many applications ignore it. If your TIFF has transparency, it will be included in the BMP output, but support depends on the receiving application.
The converter outputs standard 24-bit or 32-bit BMP depending on whether your TIFF has an alpha channel. This covers the full range of photographic and illustration use cases.
Yes. While BMP is a Windows-native format, macOS Preview and most cross-platform image applications can open BMP files without issue.
There is no enforced limit. Conversion runs in your browser and depends on available device memory. Large TIFFs over a few hundred MB may be slow on low-memory devices.
Yes. The output BMP will have the same pixel dimensions as the source TIFF. DPI metadata may not be preserved in all cases.
Yes. TIFF to BMP conversion on ChangeThisFile is completely free, with no limits, no watermarks, and no account required.
Yes. The browser's canvas API handles standard TIFF compression schemes including LZW. Some exotic or proprietary compression variants may not be supported.
