How to convert BMP and TIFF files

BMP and TIFF are still common in archives, scans, and older workflows, but they are not always the easiest formats to share or publish directly.

Why people convert BMP

BMP files can be simple to open but are often not the most convenient choice for web publishing or lightweight sharing.

Converting BMP is often about making the file easier to use elsewhere.

Why people convert TIFF

TIFF is common in scans, print-related work, and archival material.

When the goal changes from storage or production use to sharing or simple viewing, converting TIFF can make practical sense.

Pick the target based on use

If you need a common everyday image, JPG or PNG may make more sense. If you need a web-friendly result, WEBP may be a better fit.

The best output depends on where the file will go next.
