Vector conversion
Convert EPS to BMP
Updated Jul 2026
EPS is a vector format used for logos and print artwork, while BMP is a raster image made of fixed pixels that older Windows software expects. To convert EPS to BMP, open the file in a converter, pick a resolution, and export it as a bitmap. Doing this on your own computer means the artwork never has to leave your machine.

How to convert EPS to BMP
- Open Morphjet and drag in the EPS file, or a whole folder of them, to convert several at once.
- Choose BMP as the output format and set the resolution or pixel size you need for the final image.
- Convert. The BMP is written next to your original, and the file never leaves your machine.
EPS vs BMP: what actually changes
| EPS | BMP | |
|---|---|---|
| Image type | Vector, built from paths and shapes | Raster, a fixed grid of pixels |
| Resizing | Scales to any size with no quality loss | Fixed resolution, gets blurry if enlarged |
| File size | Small, since it stores math instead of pixels | Large, since every pixel is stored uncompressed |
| Compatibility | Needs design or print software to open properly | Opens in almost any image viewer or Windows app |
| Transparency | Can support a transparent or clipped background | No, the background is flattened to a solid color |
| Quality | Lossless at any size | Lossless at the resolution you export, but locked to it |
When to convert, and when not to
Convert EPS to BMP when an older Windows program, device, or workflow specifically needs a plain bitmap image instead of a vector file, or when you need a quick pixel-based preview of a logo or print design.
Keep the original EPS if the artwork still needs to be edited, resized for different uses, or sent to a print shop, since once it's a BMP you lose the ability to scale it without losing quality.
Why not just use an online converter?
EPS files are often unreleased logos, packaging art, or client work that hasn't shipped yet. Uploading one to an online converter means that artwork sits on a stranger's server while it's processed. Converting on your own computer keeps the file, and whatever it depicts, on your machine the whole time.
Questions
Does converting EPS to BMP lose quality?
The conversion itself is lossless at whatever resolution you choose, since BMP doesn't compress its pixels. But you're turning infinitely scalable vector shapes into a fixed grid of pixels, so the BMP will look blurry if you enlarge it later.
Will the BMP keep a transparent background?
No. BMP doesn't support transparency, so any transparent or clipped area in the EPS gets filled in with a solid background color, usually white, when it's converted.
What resolution should I use?
It depends on where the BMP will be used. For on-screen use, match the pixel dimensions you need. For anything that might be printed or enlarged, export at a higher resolution than you think you need, since you can't add detail back afterward.
Why is the BMP so much bigger than the EPS?
EPS stores shapes and paths mathematically, so a whole logo can take up a few kilobytes. BMP stores every single pixel with no compression, so even a simple image can end up several times larger.
Can I convert EPS to BMP without uploading it anywhere?
Yes. A desktop app like Morphjet converts the file on your own computer, so it never gets sent over the internet. You can do it with your wifi off.
