BMP vs SVG: what changes when you convert
BMP (Bitmap Image File) was introduced in 1987 by Microsoft and is best known for legacy windows applications. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), created by the W3C, is the better choice when you need icons, logos, and illustrations that must stay sharp at any size.
Why convert? SVG files are typically much smaller than BMP — expect a noticeable reduction in file size.
Upload one file or a whole batch — conversion happens over a secure HTTPS connection and finished files are automatically deleted from our servers within minutes. SVG is code, not pixels — converting to a raster format fixes it at one resolution.
