About BMP to PNG conversion
BMP is introduced by Microsoft in 1987 with Windows 2.0 and is the classic Windows bitmap graphics standard for Windows legacy software, uncompressed pixel data. PNG was created by PNG Development Group in 1996 and is best for logos, screenshots. Converting BMP to PNG gives you a file that works in the tools and platforms where PNG is required. BMP files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to PNG solves compatibility issues.
