## How to convert GIF to BMP

## Good to know

- BMP is a still format, so animated GIF files keep their first frame.
- This conversion runs on ImageMagick, running locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded and it works even on slow connections.

**GIF:** GIF is a 256-color image format best known for short looping animations. It has universal support but large files for photographic content.

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