BMP to HEIC converter
Convert BMP files to HEIC with encrypted uploads and automatic deletion. Apple's default photo format — efficient but poorly supported outside the Apple ecosystem.
BMP → HEIC is queued for rollout
Image, spreadsheet, document and media conversions are live today. This pair needs our office engine, which is next on the roadmap.
How it works

Drag a BMP file in, or click to browse. No account needed to try it.

Download the result
Grab your HEIC file immediately, or find it later in your dashboard.
Why convert BMP to HEIC?
HEIC uses lossy compression, so expect a noticeably smaller file than the uncompressed BMP original, at some cost to quality. The main reason to convert BMP to HEIC is compatibility: HEIC opens in every browser, image viewer and design tool without a plugin, while BMP doesn't always. If you're sharing a file with someone else, sending it to a tool that expects a specific format, or archiving it for the long term, HEIC is usually the safer target.
Format comparison
| BMP | HEIC | |
|---|---|---|
| Extension | .bmp | .heic |
| MIME type | image/bmp | image/heic |
| Compression | no compression scheme of its own | lossy compression |
| Category | image | image |
Your file, handled carefully
Uploads are encrypted in transit and at rest, processed in an isolated job, and deleted on the schedule you choose — as fast as immediately. We don't index, search, or share files between accounts. Read the full security model →
Frequently asked questions
Is converting BMP to HEIC free?
Yes — the first 50 conversions every month are free on any plan, including BMP to HEIC.
Will I lose quality converting BMP to HEIC?
HEIC is apple's default photo format — efficient but poorly supported outside the apple ecosystem. We use the highest-quality encoder settings by default so visual or data loss is minimized.
Do you keep a copy of my file?
No, not by default. You choose a retention window at upload — immediate, 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days — and the file is permanently deleted after that.
What is BMP?
Uncompressed Windows bitmap format.
Will my converted file have a watermark?
On the Free plan, HEIC output includes a small "Converted with Convyx" mark. Pro ($9/mo) removes it, along with the 25 MB file size cap.
What happens if a conversion fails?
You get a clear error message and the job is marked failed in your history — we never silently drop a file. Retry is one click, and nothing is charged against your quota for a failed job.
