What happens to transparent areas when converting SVG to BMP?

BMP has no alpha channel, so transparency cannot be carried over. FileMorf flattens transparent regions onto a clean white background rather than leaving them black, which is what naive converters often produce. If keeping transparency matters, convert to PNG or WebP instead.

More systems than you might expect: legacy Windows applications, embedded devices, receipt and label printers, scientific imaging tools, and some game-modding pipelines. FileMorf writes plain uncompressed 24-bit BMP — the most universally readable variant of the format.

How large will the BMP file be?

Large. FileMorf writes standard uncompressed 24-bit BMP, which needs about 3 bytes per pixel regardless of content — a 4000x3000 image comes out around 34 MB. That is normal for BMP; only use it where a specific application requires the format.

At what resolution is the SVG rendered?

FileMorf uses the SVG's own declared width and height when it has them. If the file only has a viewBox — or no dimensions at all — it is rendered at 1024 pixels on its longest side, preserving the aspect ratio. Because SVG is vector data, the rendering is done fresh at the output size, so edges stay crisp rather than being upscaled from a smaller bitmap.

Is it safe to convert SVG files downloaded from the web?

Yes. SVG files can technically contain scripts, but FileMorf rasterizes them through the browser's inert image decoding path, where scripts never execute — and nothing is uploaded anywhere. The output is pure pixels with no embedded code of any kind.

Questions about SVG and BMP.

Check the format behavior, limitations, and follow-up options before processing a real file.

Some Windows tools, embedded workflows, and industrial software ingest only BMP, a format that predates SVG entirely. FileMorf renders the vector at your chosen resolution and writes raw uncompressed pixels — but know what the trip costs: BMP has no transparency, so transparent regions are flattened onto white, and the output is fixed pixels that will not rescale cleanly the way the SVG did. Pick an output size matched to how the bitmap will actually be used.
