Quick answer: To convert APNG to BMP, add the APNG file to the iHateFiles APNG to BMP converter and press Convert. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and it is free with no sign-up, watermark or size limit. A straight swap between two raster formats, at full resolution.
Should you convert APNG to BMP?
A safe conversion: APNG and BMP are both lossless, so this is a change of container rather than a change to the picture.
Nothing is discarded
APNG and BMP are both lossless, so every pixel survives the move intact. Convert back and forth as often as you like; the image does not degrade.
BMP holds one frame
An animated APNG becomes a single still BMP: the first frame, with the rest discarded. If you wanted the movement, convert to a format that keeps it instead.

What usually goes wrong
About the APNG. Converting a single still image to APNG just gives you a PNG, because there is nothing to animate.
About the BMP. The file size surprises people. There is no compression to speak of, so the size depends only on the dimensions, not on how complicated the image is.
How to convert APNG to BMP
- Add your APNG file. It is read from your disk and stays there.
- Check the settings. The output format is already set to BMP.
- Press convert and the BMP file is saved back to your device.
Questions
How do I convert APNG to BMP?
Open this page, add your APNG file, and press convert. The file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser and saved back to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this APNG to BMP converter free?
Yes, completely. There is no account, no sign-in, no watermark and no daily limit, because there is no server doing the work. Your own device does it.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no upload endpoint. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, so your file never leaves your device. You can open your browser's network panel and watch: nothing carrying your file is sent.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Because the work happens on your machine there is no server quota. The only ceiling is your own device's memory, which for video means very large files may be slow.
Will converting to BMP lose quality?
BMP is lossless, so this step throws nothing away. If the original was already a lossy format, the damage it did cannot be undone, but nothing further is lost.
Can I convert several APNG files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
