PSD to BMP Optimization FAQ

How do I convert PSD to BMP for the modern web?

Drop your PSD file into the picker and our encoder produces a BMP output tuned for web delivery: quality factor 80 by default (a Lighthouse sweet-spot), correct color space, and an Accept-aware fallback you can ship behind a `<picture>` element alongside the original PSD.

Will BMP actually be smaller than PSD?

Almost always when going from PNG / JPG / TIFF into WebP or AVIF: expect 25-50% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality, 60-90% smaller than PNG. Going the other way (WebP / AVIF back to BMP = PNG / JPG) typically grows the file because you are leaving a more modern codec for an older one — useful for compatibility, not size.

Does PSD to BMP preserve transparency / alpha?

Transparency survives when BMP supports alpha (PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, SVG). Converting to JPG flattens the alpha channel onto white — if you need transparency on the modern web target WebP or AVIF instead of BMP.

Can I keep my color profile (sRGB / Display P3) going from PSD to BMP?

Yes for BMP formats that store ICC profiles (PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF). Modern wide-gamut profiles like Display P3 round-trip through WebP and AVIF; sRGB profiles round-trip through every common BMP. If BMP cannot store a profile, output is tagged sRGB to keep browsers from guessing.

What lossy vs lossless quality settings does the BMP encoder support?

Lossy BMP (WebP / AVIF / JPG) accepts a quality 1-100, default 80. Lossless BMP (PNG / WebP lossless / TIFF) does not take a quality dial — every pixel is preserved. WebP and AVIF are the only formats that can do either, which is why they are ideal BMP targets when source PSD mixes photos and graphics.

Will the BMP version look identical to the PSD on a Retina display?

At quality 80+ on WebP / AVIF the difference is invisible to anyone but a trained eye even at 3x device pixel ratio. Photos compress slightly more visibly than line art; if your PSD is screenshots or UI mockups, push quality to 90 or use a lossless BMP.

Does PSD to BMP keep animation frames?

Animated PSD (animated WebP, GIF, APNG) survives only when BMP is also animation-aware (animated WebP, GIF, APNG). Converting an animated PSD to a static BMP (PNG, JPG, AVIF still) yields just the first frame — use a dedicated animation converter if you need to keep all frames.

Will EXIF camera metadata survive PSD to BMP?

Yes by default when both PSD and BMP support EXIF (JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, HEIC). Camera fields (ISO, shutter, lens, GPS) are copied through. Use the "strip metadata" option if you are publishing to the web and want to drop GPS coordinates before BMP leaves your browser.

Can I batch convert a folder of PSD files to BMP?

Yes — drop multiple PSD files at once and they encode in parallel. Free accounts: 100 MB per file. Pro accounts get more parallel workers and bigger per-file caps, so a 200-image gallery typically finishes in well under two minutes.

Are my PSD files private during BMP conversion?

Yes — uploaded PSD files are processed in isolated workers and deleted within minutes. No human reviews the pixels, no copy is retained, no third party gets a feed. See /privacy/ for the precise retention window.

How do I serve the BMP with a PSD fallback on my site?

Use a `<picture>` element: `<picture><source srcset="image.BMP" type="image/BMP"><img src="image.PSD" alt=""></picture>`. Browsers that understand BMP fetch the smaller file; older browsers fall back to PSD. WebP is supported in 96%+ of installed browsers, AVIF in 90%+.

Why is my BMP file unexpectedly bigger / smaller than I expected?

A PSD that is already heavily compressed (low-quality JPG) often grows when re-encoded into a lossless BMP (PNG / TIFF). A high-bitrate lossless PSD (PNG / TIFF) often shrinks 60-90% when going to a lossy modern BMP (WebP / AVIF). Image content matters too — photos compress very differently from line art and screenshots.

PSD

PSD (Photoshop Document) is the native file format for Adobe Photoshop. PSD files store layered images, allowing for non-destructive editing and holding design elements. They are crucial for web-ready graphic design and photo manipulation.
