PDF to BMP
Turn PDF pages into BMP pictures: uncompressed 24-bit files, one for each page.
About This Tool
PDF to BMP draws each page of a PDF as a picture and saves it with the .bmp extension. You choose the pages and the resolution: 72, 144, 216 or 288 DPI.
The file is a true, uncompressed 24-bit BMP in every browser, written by the tool itself. Uncompressed means large: an A4 page at 144 DPI takes about 6 MB. If all you need is a lossless picture, PDF to PNG gives the same pixels in a far smaller file.
All conversion happens in your browser; the PDF is not uploaded.
How to Use
Upload Your PDF
Drag and drop your PDF file or click to select.
Select Pages
Once the file is added, choose a "Resolution" under "Conversion Options" and type the pages in "Page Range", for example 1-3, 5, 7, or leave the range empty to convert every page.
Convert and Download
Click "Convert to Images". A single page gives a "Download" button; several pages give "Download All as ZIP".
Use Cases
Legacy Systems
For software that reads only BMP, each page becomes a file it can open.
Windows Applications
Windows programs that expect .bmp files get real 24-bit BMP files.
Uncompressed Archives
Each page is stored uncompressed, about 6 MB for an A4 page at 144 DPI; several pages are packed into a ZIP.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use BMP format?
BMP offers uncompressed quality and maximum compatibility with legacy systems.
Are BMP files larger?
Yes. A BMP is not compressed: an A4 page at 144 DPI takes about 6 MB, many times the size of the same page as JPG or PNG.
What color depths are supported?
There is no colour-depth setting: the files are 24-bit, the kind that every program which reads BMP accepts.
