BMP is a image format: it stores uncompressed pixel data in a simple row-by-row grid, resulting in large file sizes but zero quality loss. AI is a image format that stores data in the AI format. This conversion changes the file's encoding, compression method, and supported feature set. Colour profiles and orientation metadata are preserved in the output. Converting between these two formats is common when the source application does not support AI natively or when the target platform only accepts AI. 1converter processes this conversion server-side using open-source tools. Files are transferred over HTTPS, converted on secure cloud servers, and automatically deleted after 24 hours.
