What is a BMP file?
BMP (Bitmap) is a standard image file format used on Windows to store digital images. It stores color data for each pixel in the image without compression (usually), resulting in large file sizes but perfect quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are BMP files so large?
BMP files are typically uncompressed, storing every single pixel's color data individually. This preserves quality but takes up a lot of space.
Is BMP better than JPEG?
For quality, yes, as it's lossless. For web use and storage, JPEG is much better due to its compression.
