| Description | The TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a widely-used file format for storing digital images, developed by Aldus Corporation (now owned by Adobe Systems). It is a versatile format that supports a wide range of color depths, resolutions, and image types, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications. TIFF files can contain multiple images, each with their own characteristics such as resolution, compression, and color depth. They can also be uncompressed or compressed using a variety of methods, such as LZW, ZIP, and JPEG compression. Additionally, TIFF files can store metadata such as keywords, descriptions, and copyright information. One of the key benefits of the TIFF format is its support for high-quality, lossless image compression. This makes it a popular choice for archiving and sharing images, especially in fields such as graphic design, printing, and photography. TIFF files can also support transparent backgrounds, making them ideal for use in web graphics and other applications where transparency is important. TIFF files can be opened and edited using a wide variety of software programs, including Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and Microsoft Paint. They are also supported by many operating systems and web browsers. Overall, the TIFF format is a robust and versatile format for storing digital images. Its ability to support multiple images, high-quality compression, and metadata make it a popular choice for a variety of applications, especially those requiring high-quality images. |

| Description | May be the simplest file format, BMP was developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM. That is why it is widespread on Windows platform. This extension is characterized a raster graphic format which is recognized by many programs today. In comparison with other bitmap formats, JPEG and GIF, BMP keeps color data for each pixel in the image and doesn't compress images to decrease a file size. That is what makes it perfect file format for printable images. |

TIFF is the professional lossless format used in print production, scanning, and archival workflows. BMP is Microsoft's uncompressed native format, required by legacy Windows applications, industrial software, game tools, and embedded systems that cannot read compressed formats. Converting TIFF to BMP decodes the lossless image and writes every pixel as uncompressed BMP data — maximum Windows compatibility with no decompression overhead at load time. No software installation required.
BMP (Bitmap Image File) is Microsoft's native raster image format, part of Windows since version 1.0 in 1985. It stores pixel data as a raw uncompressed grid, making it the simplest and most universally compatible format for Windows GDI and legacy applications.
| Property | TIFF | BMP |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | LZW, ZIP (lossless) or uncompressed | Uncompressed (raw pixel data) |
| File size | Compact with LZW (50–70% smaller than uncompressed) | Large — full uncompressed pixel data |
| Color spaces | RGB, CMYK, Lab, Grayscale | RGB only |
| Professional tools | Supported by all print and design applications | Windows applications only |
| Multi-page | Yes — multiple pages in one file | No — single image per file |
| Best for | Print, prepress, archival, professional imaging | Legacy Windows apps, embedded systems, game tools |
The converter reads the TIFF file header to determine image dimensions, compression type (LZW, ZIP, or uncompressed), bit depth, and color space. The image data is decompressed from the TIFF container to recover the raw pixel grid — for LZW-compressed TIFF, the LZW stream is decoded to produce the uncompressed RGB data. Multi-page TIFFs produce one BMP file per page. The pixel data is written into the BMP container format: BMP header records dimensions and bit depth; pixel rows are written in bottom-up order (BMP convention) with each row padded to a 4-byte boundary. The output BMP is a standard 24-bit RGB file with no compression, immediately readable by any Windows application without codec installation.
