Pros of BMP

BMP files are uncompressed image files used in early versions of Windows that store pixel data to create images. While BMP files produce high quality images with rich color, they are very large in file size and do not scale well when resized, making them unsuitable for web use. BMP files represent images as a collection of pixels arranged in a grid pattern to form the image.

BMP

The Windows Bitmap or BMP files are image files within the Microsoft Windows
operating system. In fact, it was at one point one of the few image formats.

These files are large and uncompressed, but the images are rich in color, high in
quality, simple and compatible in all Windows OS and programs. BMP files are also
called raster or paint images.

BMP files are made of millions and millions of dots called ‘pixels,’ with different
colors and arrangements to come up with an image or pattern.

It might be an 8-bit, 16-bit or 24-bit image. Thus when you make a BMP image
larger or smaller, you are making the individual pixels larger, and thus making the
shapes look fuzzy and jagged.

BMP files are not great and not very popular. Being oversized, bitmap files are not
what you call ‘web friendly’, nor are they compatible in all platforms and they do
not scale well.

Pros of BMP:

 Works well with most Windows programs and OS, you can use it as a
Windows wallpaper

Cons of BMP:

 Does not scale or compress well


 Again, very huge image files making it not web friendly
 No real advantage over other image formats
