How does the BMP to PNM conversion work technically?

Xonvert uses WebAssembly-compiled libraries to decode your BMP file in-browser, process the image data, and re-encode it as PNM. All processing happens on your device's CPU.

What happens to my files after conversion?

Nothing — your files exist only in your browser's memory during conversion. Once you close the page, all data is cleared. No files are stored anywhere.

BMP Bitmap is Uncompressed Windows bitmap format preserving exact pixel-level data. It is primarily used for Windows system wallpapers, clipboard operations and intermediate editing steps. Stores raw pixel data with optional RLE compression

Will the conversion strip my EXIF or metadata?

Xonvert preserves metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3, etc.) when the target PNM format supports it. You can optionally strip metadata in the settings for smaller, cleaner output files.

Does the conversion preserve metadata?

Xonvert preserves compatible metadata fields when converting between formats. Some format-specific metadata may not carry over if the target format doesn't support it.
