What is a BMP file?
BMP (Windows Bitmap, also called DIB) is the native raster format of Microsoft Windows. Files are normally stored uncompressed, so a 12-megapixel photo is around 36 MB.
BMP is still used by some embedded devices, label printers and legacy software. ConvertCove writes standard 24-bit BMP files that any Windows version can open.
