Windows Bitmap (*.bmp) |
This file format supports 1-bit to 24-bit pixel images.
This is the default image format used in windows. It is typically an uncompressed buffer with the image data, plus a Bitmap Header that describes the data. There was a variety that used RLE lossless compression, but due to lack of support it has largely vanished. More recently, it has been updated to support different compression algorithms but support is spotty among software and hardware vendors. Usually other formats are used if compression is needed.
We support only the uncompressed variety. Any program that produces compressed BMP’s is also required to produce uncompressed BMP’s.
Supported Modes:
24-bit color
8-bit grayscale
8-bit palette
4-bit palette
1-bit palette
