Your PNG source
PNG can store an alpha channel and compress repeated image data efficiently. A simple 24-bit BMP has different storage requirements.

PNG to BMP: what changes?
The BMP result
Transparent pixels are composited over white and written as uncompressed RGB rows. The output keeps the source dimensions.
Keep the original PNG for transparency; the BMP result cannot retain the alpha channel in this implementation.
A PRACTICAL GUIDE
PNG and BMP: choose the right result
A PNG file may not be accepted by the app or upload form you need. PNG to BMP creates a separate BMP copy while leaving your original file untouched.

What should I check before using PNG to BMP?
PNG can store an alpha channel and compress repeated image data efficiently. A simple 24-bit BMP has different storage requirements. Check the BMP result before replacing the source.
What is the PNG to BMP image limit?
Choose one PNG file up to 25 MB and 12 million pixels. The maximum side is 65,535 pixels. Resize larger sources first; this route does not silently reduce their dimensions.
Does PNG to BMP upload my file?
No. The PNG to BMP work runs in a local background worker. Needed converter files download on first use; your selected image is not sent to a conversion server. You can cancel processing.
