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. PNG is a image format that uses lossless DEFLATE compression and supports a full alpha-transparency channel, preserving every pixel exactly as encoded. This conversion changes the file's encoding, compression method, and supported feature set. The output is pixel-accurate: no further quality is lost beyond what the source already encoded. Converting between these two formats is common when the source application does not support PNG natively or when the target platform only accepts PNG. 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.
