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.
Same format? You might want to compress instead.
SSIM-optimized — finds the lowest file size at your chosen visual fidelity.
Need to crop first? Use the Crop tool. Want to adjust or filter? Try the Editor.

Tip: Use PNG or WebP for transparent output. Standalone tool →
Lossless format — files can be large
GIF is limited to 256 colors
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.
Leave empty for all pages. Multi-page PDFs produce a ZIP.

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
Upload your SVG file by dragging it into the converter or clicking to browse.
KoalaPic rasterizes the SVG using the Cairo rendering engine and saves as uncompressed 24-bit BMP.
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.
