Why Convert BMP to HEIC?
Converting from BMP Bitmap Image to HEIC Image is useful when you need 50% smaller than jpeg at equivalent quality. BMP Bitmap Image has limitations: very large file sizes. HEIC Image addresses this by offering 50% smaller than jpeg at equivalent quality and supports depth maps and live photos. HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a modern image format based on the HEVC video codec, used by default on Apple devices since iOS 11.
Xonvert uses professional-grade conversion tools to ensure the highest possible quality when converting BMP Bitmap Image to HEIC Image. The output is optimized for the target format's strengths.
BMP vs HEIC — Technical Comparison
| Feature | BMP | HEIC |
|---|---|---|
| Color Depth | Up to 32-bit | Up to 10-bit HDR |
| Compression | None (or RLE) | Lossy (HEVC/H.265) |
| Max Resolution | 32,767 × 32,767 pixels | — |
| Transparency | Limited (32-bit only) | Supported |
| Animation | Not supported | Image sequences supported |
| File Size | — | ~50% smaller than JPEG |
About BMP Bitmap Image
BMP (Bitmap) is an uncompressed raster image format native to Windows. While it produces very large file sizes due to minimal compression, BMP preserves exact pixel data without any quality loss, making it useful for image editing workflows and as an intermediate format.
Strengths
- ✓ No compression means zero quality loss
- ✓ Native Windows support
- ✓ Simple format easy to parse
- ✓ Good as intermediate editing format
Limitations
- • Very large file sizes
- • Not suitable for web use
- • No transparency or animation
- • Rarely used in modern workflows
Developed by Microsoft (1986)
About HEIC Image
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a modern image format based on the HEVC video codec, used by default on Apple devices since iOS 11. HEIC files are roughly half the size of JPEG at the same visual quality, while supporting depth maps, live photos, and image sequences.
Strengths
- ✓ 50% smaller than JPEG at equivalent quality
- ✓ Supports depth maps and live photos
- ✓ Stores image bursts and sequences
- ✓ 10-bit color depth for HDR
Limitations
- • Limited Windows and Android support
- • Not widely supported on the web
- • Patent licensing concerns (HEVC)
- • Many apps require conversion to view
