Convert BMP to SVG Online
BMP stores every pixel raw, so files balloon fast. Trace yours into a compact SVG that scales forever — free, no sign-up, deleted right after conversion.

Supports PNG / JPG / WEBP / GIF / BMP, max 20MB
BMP up to 20MB. PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF are accepted too.
Shrink uncompressed originals
BMP files are large and uncompressed. Tracing them yields a tiny, scalable SVG you can edit anywhere. Because the output stores curves instead of a pixel grid, the same artwork drops from megabytes to kilobytes while gaining the ability to print at any size.

None — vectors have no pixel grid
Bitmap grid vs vector curves
Move your mouse across either image — a 4x magnifier appears on both sides.
The bitmap panel shows the pixel grid a BMP stores. The vector panel stores curves instead.
Great for legacy assets
Old scans and software exports saved as BMP become editable vectors in seconds. If you inherited a folder of decade-old bitmaps for a rebrand or a documentation refresh, tracing is usually faster than redrawing.
Great for
- Legacy icons exported by old Windows software
- Flat-colour clip art saved as .bmp
- Black-and-white scans and stencils
- Screenshots of simple diagrams
Not ideal for
- Photographic BMPs with continuous tone
- Dithered 8-bit images with speckled colour
- Very small icons already below 32×32
- Anything with soft drop shadows

Legacy bitmaps
BMP is one of the oldest image formats, still common in scans, firmware dumps, and legacy software. As a raw bitmap it can't scale or be edited as vector art. Veclify turns a BMP into a crisp SVG.
Upload the BMP and Veclify traces it into editable paths. The conversion runs over an encrypted connection and the source file is deleted right after, so nothing stays on our servers.
Why convert BMP to SVG
A BMP is uncompressed and raster — fine for a screenshot, useless for a logo. Tracing rebuilds it as vector paths that stay sharp at any size and recolor instantly.
How Veclify traces BMP
Veclify sends the BMP over an encrypted link, vectorizes it with AI path fitting, and returns SVG you can refine — simplify nodes, adjust colors, then export SVG, PNG, PDF, or EPS.
