- AI files are typically used for editable vector artwork from Illustrator, while BMP is best for legacy Windows software and raw pixel exchange.
- This conversion runs on ImageMagick in an isolated cloud sandbox. Files are encrypted in transit and deleted automatically.

## AI vs BMP

|  | AI | BMP |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Full name | Adobe Illustrator Artwork | Windows Bitmap |

**AI:** AI is Adobe Illustrator's native vector format. Modern AI files are PDF-compatible, which lets them be converted without Illustrator.

**BMP:** BMP is an uncompressed bitmap format from Windows. It's simple and lossless, which also makes files very large.
