Converter BMP to PNG

BMP is a graphic format that allows you to store bitmaps as a bitmap based on single-layer rasters. It was developed by Microsoft. She also implemented it in the Windows operating system. The BMP format (English Bitmap Picture) is used in the work of many programs, since its support is integrated into Windows and OS / 2. Files of this format can have the extensions .bmp, .dib or .rle. The BMP graphics format has often changed. From the very beginning, the image structure was built by combining small squares, that is, pixels, each of which is capable of containing data about what color depth is. It happens to be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48 bits per pixel. The size of the final image depends on the bitness. The BMP file format still looks like a monster, since it has large sizes. After all, the image is uncompressed, which can not be said, for example, about the JPG format. Any Windows operating system has the means to open such images. The main editing tool has always been Paint - the native Microsoft program that is in every version of Windows. In BMP, images are stored in their original form, but compression algorithms can also be used. Let's say BMP provides quality support for RLE compression.

PNG is a raster image format developed by PNG Development Group. The name PNG is an abbreviation for Portable Network Graphic. This image format is used primarily on the Internet for posting on web pages, since PNG files use Deflate compression without losing quality. The development of this format was undertaken in order to replace the GIF format, to which there were many complaints. PNG's image quality and specifications were much better, but unlike GIF, it does not support animation and uses the CMYK palette.
