24-bit Bitmap Maker

World's Simplest Bitmap Tool

This is a free and fast online utility that converts bitmap images to 24-bit BMPs. Just load your BMP in the input, and the tool will encode every output pixel directly with 8 bits of red, 8 bits of green, and 8 bits of blue. You can use the configuration options (below) to choose the solid fill color for transparent and semi-transparent areas. Created by graphics designers from team Browserling.

What Is a 24-bit Bitmap Maker?

This free online browser-based program converts a bitmap image to the standard 24-bit BMP layout. A 24-bit bitmap stores each pixel directly in three bytes: eight bits for blue, eight bits for green, and eight bits for red. Unlike a 32-bit BMP, a 24-bit BMP does not reserve a fourth byte for every pixel, so its raw pixel data is 25% smaller while retaining exactly the same 8-bit RGB color precision. Since the 24-bit format has no alpha channel, it cannot preserve transparent pixels directly. When the input contains transparent or semi-transparent areas, the background color option blends them with a solid color before their final RGB values are written. The result is an uncompressed, palette-free true-color BMP that is straightforward to read and widely supported by image editors and legacy graphics software. Bmp-abulous!

Convert a 32-bit Dog Portrait to a 24-bit BMP

In this example, we convert a 32-bit BMP portrait of a brown-and-white dog to a 24-bit BMP. The source bitmap stores each pixel in four bytes, while the 24-bit format needs only three bytes for the blue, green, and red channels. We remove the unused fourth byte from every pixel and preserve all three color channels at their original 8-bit precision. As a result, the portrait remains visually unchanged, while the raw pixel data becomes 25% smaller. (Source: Pexels.)

Convert a Transparent Lily WebP to a 24-bit BMP

This example converts a yellow lily from a lossy WebP with transparency to a 24-bit BMP. The WebP stores color information together with an 8-bit alpha channel that controls the transparency of each pixel. A 24-bit BMP, however, stores only the red, green, and blue color channels and has no transparency channel. We therefore replace the transparent areas with an ivory background before saving the image as a 24-bit BMP. (Source: Pexels.)

Expand a 16-bit Papaya BMP to 24 Bits

In this example, we expand a 16-bit 5-5-5 BMP to a 24-bit BMP. The source uses five bits for each color channel and leaves one bit unused, which limits the number of available color levels and gives the image a slightly simplified color appearance. We expand these values to full 24-bit pixels, making the bitmap easier to work with in true-color workflows. The conversion changes how the image is stored but preserves its overall appearance.

Created with love by

We're Browserling — a friendly and fun cross-browser testing company powered by alien technology. At Browserling, we love to make people's lives easier, so we created this collection of online bitmap tools. Our BMP tools have the simplest possible user interface and work directly in your browser without downloads or installations. You can use them to edit bitmap images, change BMP bit depth and colors, resize bitmaps, create transparent BMPs, work with bitmap pixels and byte arrays, and much more. Behind the scenes, our bitmap tools are powered by our web developer tools that we've created over the years. Check them out!
