BMP is the uncompressed Windows bitmap, read by almost every program. GIF is the old web format for simple graphics and short animations, limited to 256 colours.
The picture keeps its pixel size, and you see the result before you download it.

Why it matters
Every pixel kept
The picture is not resized, sharpened or smoothed. It comes out at exactly its original width and height, so no detail is lost on the way.
Transparency handled properly
PNG, WebP, GIF and ICO keep the alpha channel. JPEG and BMP cannot hold one, so transparent areas are filled white rather than turning black.
Colour as it was
Colours are carried across as they are, with no filter, no tone shift and no added compression on a lossless format.
Nothing leaves your machine
No upload, no queue and no copy of your pictures on a server: the conversion runs in your browser.
Questions
How do I convert BMP to GIF?
Drop your BMP file on this page, check the preview, and press Download. The GIF is made in a few seconds, with no sign-up.
Is my BMP file uploaded anywhere?
No. The bmp to gif conversion runs in your browser, on your own device. The file never leaves it.
Does converting lose quality?
Not to PNG, TIFF, BMP or lossless WebP: those keep every pixel. JPEG and lossy WebP discard some detail to make the file smaller; at the default 92% quality that is not visible, and you can raise it to 100%.
Will my picture keep its size?
Yes. The width and height in pixels are exactly those of the original.
Is transparency kept?
Into PNG, WebP, GIF and ICO, yes. JPEG and BMP have no transparency, so those areas are filled white.
