Image Compressor is a tool or algorithm designed to reduce the file size of digital images. This reduction is achieved by either removing redundant data (lossless compression) or by discarding less critical data (lossy compression) that is unlikely to be noticed by the human eye. The primary goal of image compression is to optimize images for faster loading times on websites, save storage space, and make them more efficient for sharing via email or social media, while preserving acceptable visual quality.
Different image formats utilize various compression techniques, each suited for specific types of images and use cases. Some formats offer a balance between file size and quality, while others prioritize perfect reproduction or support features like animation and transparency.
BMP stands for Bitmap Image File. Developed by Microsoft, it was one of the earliest image formats for Windows systems, appearing with Windows 3.0 in the early 1990s. BMP files typically store images in an uncompressed raw pixel format.
While BMP can support various color depths and may include a basic lossless compression method (RLE - Run-Length Encoding), it is primarily known for its large file sizes due to its uncompressed nature. This makes it generally unsuitable for web use or efficient storage. However, its simplicity ensures widespread compatibility across almost all image viewing and editing software. BMP typically does not support transparency (though some modern extensions exist) or layers.
How to Open a BMP File:
