How to convert BMP to TIF
- Add your .BMP file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .TIF in a few seconds.
- Download your new .TIF file.
What to expect
- Lossless TIFF compression preserves the BMP exactly; only a lossy JPEG-in-TIFF setting would reduce quality.
- File size normally drops versus the uncompressed BMP when lossless compression is used.
- A single BMP yields a single-page TIFF; TIFF's multi-page capability is not populated from one source image.
Frequently asked questions
Is quality lost converting BMP to TIF?
Not with a lossless setting. TIFF commonly uses lossless compression (or none), preserving the BMP pixels exactly; some TIFF encoders can use lossy JPEG compression, which would discard detail, so the setting matters.
Why convert BMP to TIF?
TIFF is the standard for scanned documents and archival images, supports multi-page files, and compresses losslessly to shrink the large uncompressed BMP. It is a durable, widely accepted format for storage.
Where does the TIF open?
TIF opens with no extra software on Windows (Photos) and macOS (Preview), and in essentially every image editor. It is a long-established, broadly supported format.
Will the TIF be smaller than the BMP?
Usually yes, when lossless compression such as LZW or Deflate is applied, since BMP is uncompressed. An uncompressed TIFF would be similar in size to the BMP.
