BMP vs TIFF Format Comparison

Aspect BMP (Source Format) TIFF (Target Format)
Format Overview
BMP
Bitmap Image File

Uncompressed raster format storing raw pixel data; simple and widely supported.

Standard
TIFF
Tagged Image File Format

Flexible bitmap format supporting multiple compression schemes and high bit depths.

Standard
Compression

No compression; stores full image data.

Optional: lossless LZW/Deflate or lossy JPEG compression.

Color Depth

1–24 bits per pixel depending on BMP variant.

8–32 bits per channel; supports grayscale, RGB, CMYK and alpha.

File Size

Very large; uncompressed data proportional to resolution and color depth.

Large; size depends on compression type and bit depth chosen.

Advantages
  • Simple, straightforward structure
  • No data loss due to absence of compression
  • Easy to read and write
  • Highly versatile compression options
  • Supports high bit depths and metadata
  • Industry standard for graphics and publishing
Disadvantages
  • Huge file sizes without compression
  • Inefficient storage
  • No support for transparency or layers
  • File sizes can be large when uncompressed
  • Not optimized for web delivery
  • Limited browser support without plugins
Use Cases
  • Legacy Windows applications and systems
  • Simple graphic dumps and debug images
  • Software interoperability testing
  • Print publishing and high-quality scans
  • Medical and scientific imaging
  • Archival of high-fidelity images
Tooling & Ecosystem
  • Microsoft Paint
  • Basic imaging libraries and APIs
  • Windows built-in viewers
  • Adobe Photoshop, GIMP
  • Graphic design and publishing tools
  • TIFF-specific viewers and plugins

Why Convert BMP to TIFF?

BMP images are uncompressed and result in very large file sizes, making storage and sharing inefficient. Converting BMP to TIFF introduces flexible compression options, enabling lossless or lossy encoding based on your needs.

TIFF’s support for high bit depths, metadata, and various color spaces makes it the preferred format for publishing, printing, and professional imaging workflows. By converting BMP to TIFF, you gain enhanced compatibility with industry tools while optimizing file storage and preserving image fidelity.
