PNG vs BMP: What Changes?
PNG keeps every detail of a picture and supports see-through backgrounds, but files are bigger than JPG. Converting to BMP gives you a plain, uncompressed picture that old programs and devices can read.

|---|---|---|
| Best for | Logos, screenshots & editing | Old Windows programs & devices |
| File size | Medium to large | Very large |
| See-through background | Yes | No |
| Animation | No | No |
| Opens on | Everywhere | Windows & most image apps |
