How to convert WMF to BMP
- Add your .WMF file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .BMP in a few seconds.
- Download your new .BMP file.
What to expect
- BMP stores uncompressed pixels - a converted clipart can reach several MB where PNG would be under 100 KB; use BMP only when explicitly required.
- WMF is vector and scales losslessly, but the BMP output is fixed at the chosen export resolution; set a higher DPI before saving if you need print-quality output.
- Some WMF files contain embedded raster (DIB) data rather than pure drawing commands; conversion still works but output resolution is constrained by the embedded bitmap.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting WMF to BMP lose quality?
No compression artifacts are introduced, but the vector is rasterized at a fixed resolution. If the output looks blurry, export at a higher DPI or resize the canvas before saving.
Can I batch-convert multiple WMF files to BMP?
Yes - IrfanView's batch tool (File > Batch Conversion/Rename) lets you process many
.wmf files to BMP in one run.Why is my BMP file so large after conversion?
BMP stores raw uncompressed pixel data, so even small graphics can reach several MB. If file size matters, export to PNG instead - it is lossless and far smaller.
Is it safe to open WMF files?
WMF has a history of parser exploits - only open files from sources you trust, and keep your OS and applications up to date.
