ASF is a video format: it stores data in the ASF format. BMP is a image format that stores uncompressed pixel data in a simple row-by-row grid, resulting in large file sizes but zero quality loss. This conversion changes the file's encoding, compression method, and supported feature set. Metadata such as creation date and embedded colour profiles is preserved where the target format supports it. Converting between these two formats is common when the source application does not support BMP natively or when the target platform only accepts BMP. 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.
