| Description | .bmp (Bitmap Image File) The .bmp format, also known as bitmap, is a raster graphics image file format used to store digital images. This format was developed by Microsoft for use on Windows, and it is widely supported on both Windows and macOS systems. BMP files are typically large because they contain a detailed, uncompressed representation of the image data. This format is suitable for storing high-quality digital photos, though it's not as commonly used for web or email due to its large file size compared to formats like JPEG or PNG.

| Technical details | The `.bmp` format, Bitmap, is a straightforward raster graphics format created by Microsoft. Here are the main technical details: - Pixel Storage: No compression, leading to large file sizes. - Color Depth: Supports various depths, with 24-bit offering truecolor. - Uncompressed: Mostly used in an uncompressed state. - Palette: Utilizes a color palette for lower depths. - Header Information: Includes image details. - Alpha Channels: Some versions support transparency. - Device Independence: Ensures a consistent appearance across devices. - Simplicity: Easy to read/write, but lacks modern features. - Compatibility: Widely supported, but results in larger file sizes. - No Metadata: Does not support extensive metadata. - Rare for Web: Rarely used due to large size. - Applications: Commonly used in Windows for wallpaper and basic editing. `.bmp` is simple and compatible, but not optimized for file size or web use. It is becoming less popular in favor of more efficient formats. |
