What changes

SVG pixels are decoded and encoded as BMP by our image engine for svg-to-bmp; no OCR is performed.
EXIF, color profiles, layers, animation frames, and camera metadata may be stripped unless the destination requires minimal metadata.
Transparency stays for PNG and WebP but is filled with the selected background for JPEG, BMP, PDF, and other opaque targets.
Animated inputs such as GIF are flattened to a still frame unless a server codec explicitly supports animation for that output.
SVG input is rasterized at the requested dimensions or DPI, producing pixels rather than editable vector paths.
This pair runs in a browser worker first, so standard web conversion does not upload the file.

A real SVG → BMP run

We converted our SVG sample (389 B) with Image engine on 2026-10-20. It took 14 ms and produced a 188 KB BMP file, 494× larger than the input. The engine raised 1 warning, listed below.

Input · sample.svg · 389 B

SVG viewBox 0 0 320 200, 0 paths

viewBox: 0 0 320 200
Paths: 0

Output · sample.bmp · 188 KB

320 × 200 px, 24-bit

Width: 320
Height: 200
Encoding: 24-bit

Image metadata stripped from output.

Options

width: Set the output width in pixels.
height: Set the output height in pixels.
fit: Contain, cover, or fill within the requested dimensions.
quality: Set lossy output quality where the codec supports it.
background: Fill transparency with this color for opaque formats.
stripMetadata: Remove source metadata when writing the output.
dpi: Rasterize SVG or PDF-derived pixels at the requested scale where supported.

Example

input

SVG image, 1200 × 800 pixels

output

BMP image resized or re-encoded without OCR text extraction

Do it in code

python

from PIL import Image
img = Image.open("input.svg")
img.save("output.bmp")

SVG to BMP by API or MCP

The HTTP API and the MCP server run the exact engine this page uses (Image engine); the response carries the same warnings the web converter shows. Check support first with GET /api/v1/pairs?from=svg&to=bmp.
