BMP to WebP
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
BMP to WebP conversion produces much smaller files that are ready for use on the modern web. WebP supports both lossy and lossless modes, as well as alpha if the source image has it. Because BMP is often uncompressed, this conversion typically provides the greatest amount of space savings than simply renaming a file.
Key points
- WebP is much more efficient than BMP for web distribution
- Choose lossy for photos and lossless for sharply-lined images
- Alpha is maintained only if the BMP source stores it
- Modern browsers support WebP, but fallback remains useful
- Batch conversion can save a lot of storage space
