BMP vs GIF Format Comparison

Aspect	BMP (Source Format)	GIF (Target Format)
Format Overview	BMP Bitmap Image File Uncompressed raster image format developed by Microsoft; stores pixel data directly. Standard	GIF Graphics Interchange Format Lossless palette-based image format supporting simple animations. Standard
Compression	No compression; stores full bitmap data.	Lossless LZW compression; limited to 256 colors.
Color Depth	1 to 24 bits per pixel, depending on variant.	8 bits per pixel, up to 256-color palette.
File Size	Large; uncompressed data size proportional to resolution and color depth.	Relatively small; depends on palette size and dimensions.
Advantages	Simple format structure No quality loss due to compression Easy to read and write by software	Wide browser support Supports simple animations Small file sizes for web use
Disadvantages	Very large file sizes No compression means inefficient storage No support for transparency or animation	Limited to 256 colors No true alpha transparency Not suitable for high‑color photographs
Use Cases	Legacy Windows applications Simple graphics with limited colors Software testing and debugging	Web graphics and simple animations Icons and UI elements Short looping animations
Tooling & Ecosystem	Microsoft Paint Most image processing libraries Windows-based viewers	GIMP, Photoshop, Paint Browser-based editors Animation tools like Ezgif

Why Convert BMP to GIF?

Converting BMP images to GIF significantly reduces file size and adds support for basic animations and web compatibility. While BMP stores raw pixel data without compression, GIF uses LZW compression to optimize storage, making images faster to load and share online.
