The bitmap image file format or bmp file for short, is a raster graphics image file. It uses a dot matrix data structure to represent pixelated points of color and to store digital image information. The format optionally supports compression and has wide cross platform support on all the major computer operating systems. Because bmp files are raster graphics files, image resolution is constrained meaning images in this format will not scale without loss in quality. This is in contrast to vector graphics images that can scale to arbitrary resolutions.
SVG or Scalable Vector Graphic File is a graphical format for images which are bi-dimensional and XML-based providing support to animations and various interactive elements. The SVG file format was developed with the open standards created in 1999 by the W3C (Worldwide Web Consortium). Adobe Corporation held the significant role towards the development of this file format, and it is considered to be the industry standard for viewing vector graphics on web networks. SVG images can be created, edited, and recreated in any of the text editing tools and drawing or illustration software. Additionally, SVG can be compressed, searched, scripted, and indexed.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for BMP to SVG conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload BMP files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized SVG results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent SVG audio with dependable progress tracking.
Because bmp files can be uncompressed, it is capable of supporting larger file sizes and thus higher resolution and higher quality images. This capability makes bmp files inappropriate for digital distribution via webpages or through bandwidth limited networks. Pixels in a bitmap support deferent color depths from 1 bit of either black or white, to grayscale which is 8 bits, to finally 24 bit RGB giving a possible 16777216 possible colors. Color depth can go as high as 32 bits however this is rarely encountered or needed in practice.
SVG files can use vector shapes, text and bitmap images. The animations produced by SVG drawings are interactive and are technically created by the DOM-access scripting included in SVG files. CSS and JavaScript programming languages can be used for the styling, scripting, internalization, and localization of SVG files. XMT files and Part 11 of MPEG-4 file formats also use SVG files.
Upload your image file in the BMP format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select SVG as the output format and click Convert. Adjust optional settings if needed.
Download the converted vector file. Each file stays available for up to 5 downloads.
