About converting BMP to GIF
BMP and GIF both store a grid of pixels, so nothing is redrawn: the image is decoded once and written straight back out. What changes is how it is compressed, which is why the file size can move sharply in either direction. The quality setting is yours before you start.
How to convert BMP to GIF
Add your BMP file
Drag it onto the box above, click to browse, or paste it straight from your clipboard.
Check the settings
GIF is already selected. The defaults suit most files, and you can open Settings if you want to change the quality or size.
Download the GIF
Most files are ready in a second or two. Larger ones convert in the background while you watch the progress.
Quality
The file is re-encoded, so the GIF is visually equivalent rather than bit-for-bit identical. At the default settings the difference is not something you would notice.
File size
Up to 100 MB per file on this conversion
