Drop GIF files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.
Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.
Save the BMP, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The GIF to BMP converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your GIFs are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
GIF is limited to 256 colours and produces very large files for anything longer than a few seconds. BMP is read by old Windows programs and simple hardware that understand nothing else. GIF is at home in short looping clips and reactions; BMP is the usual choice for legacy Windows software and embedded devices.
BMP holds a single still image, so an animated GIF does not stay animated. The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can resize the result.
If the GIF is animated, only its first frame is converted and the result is a still picture.
GIF is a 1987 format that survives because it loops silently everywhere. Each frame can use at most 256 colours, so photos and video look grainy and files are far larger than an equivalent MP4.

GIF converterBMP is the plain Windows bitmap: pixels written out with little or no compression. The files are enormous compared with PNG or JPG, but the format is so simple that old software, printers and microcontroller displays still ask for it.

No. The GIF to BMP conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
No further quality is lost: BMP stores the decoded pixels exactly. The result is identical in content.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the GIF file, press Convert and save the BMP. There is nothing to install.
Pictures of up to 120 megapixels are accepted (for example 12,000 by 10,000 pixels); a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
