Convert SVG to BMP — Vector to Bitmap

SVG is a scalable vector format while BMP is an uncompressed raster format. Converting between them rasterizes your vector graphics at a fixed resolution. This is needed when legacy applications require BMP input but your source files are in SVG format. Note that BMP does not support transparency.

Modern format with excellent compression. Limited browser support.

Apple's format. Excellent quality at small sizes.

Lossless format. Large files, ideal for print/archival.

256 colors max. Best for simple graphics.

Uncompressed bitmap. Very large files.

Vector trace. Best for logos and simple graphics. Not a pixel-perfect conversion.

Best for logos, icons, and line art. Photos produce stylized results.

BMP files are uncompressed and can be very large. Consider TIFF (LZW) or PNG for lossless with smaller file sizes.

Why Convert SVG to BMP?

Some legacy applications, embedded systems, and industrial equipment only accept BMP raster images. Converting SVG to BMP provides a fixed-resolution uncompressed bitmap that these systems can process. For most rasterization needs, PNG is a far better choice since it supports transparency and compression.

How to Convert SVG to BMP

1

Upload your SVG file by dragging it into the converter or clicking to browse.

2

KoalaPic rasterizes the SVG using the Cairo rendering engine and saves as uncompressed 24-bit BMP.

3

Download the BMP file. Both files are deleted after 1 hour.

Quality Note

SVG transparency is flattened to a white background since BMP does not support alpha channels. The output is uncompressed and can be very large. For rasterizing SVG with transparency, use PNG instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. BMP does not support transparency. Any transparent areas in the SVG become white in the BMP output. Use PNG if you need to preserve transparency.

Yes, for almost all uses. PNG supports transparency, uses compression for smaller files, and is universally supported by modern software.

The SVG is rasterized at its intrinsic dimensions (the width/height or viewBox defined in the SVG). Use the resize option for custom output dimensions.

It depends entirely on the resolution you request, since BMP stores every pixel uncompressed at width × height × 3 bytes. Rendering an SVG at 1920 × 1080 produces a 6.2 MB BMP no matter how simple the artwork is.
