BMP vs WEBP Format Comparison

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

Uncompressed raster format; stores raw pixel data without any compression.

Standard
WEBP
Web Picture format

Modern image format by Google supporting both lossy and lossless compression plus transparency and animation.

Standard
Compression

No compression; raw pixel storage.

Supports lossy predictive coding and lossless LZ77 compression.

Color Depth

1–24 bits per pixel depending on BMP variant.

Up to 8 bits per channel; supports alpha transparency.

File Size

Large; proportional to resolution and color depth.

Much smaller than BMP or JPG for similar quality.

Advantages
  • Simple format, widely supported by legacy systems
  • No data loss since no compression applied
  • Significant file size reduction with quality retention
  • Supports transparency and animation
  • Optimized for web delivery
Disadvantages
  • Huge file sizes make BMP impractical for web use
  • No support for transparency or metadata
  • Not supported by some older browsers and devices
  • Limited bit depth compared to professional formats
Use Cases
  • Legacy image dumps and debugging
  • Simple graphics in Windows environments without compression needs
  • Web graphics and responsive images
  • Mobile apps where bandwidth is limited
  • Digital marketing and ads with animations
Tooling & Ecosystem
  • Microsoft Paint
  • Basic imaging libraries
  • ImageMagick, libwebp
  • Modern browsers and web servers
  • Graphic editors with WEBP plugins

Why Convert BMP to WEBP?

BMP files are uncompressed and can be extremely large, making them impractical for web use and sharing. WEBP offers advanced compression methods that reduce file size dramatically while preserving visual quality.

Converting to WEBP enhances page load speeds, reduces bandwidth consumption, and supports features like transparency and animation—ideal for modern web design and mobile applications.
