About GIF to BMP conversion
GIF is released by CompuServe in 1987 and is the universal support but limited by its age for short animations, simple graphics. BMP was created by Microsoft in 1987 and is best for Windows legacy software, uncompressed pixel data. Converting GIF to BMP gives you a file that works in the tools and platforms where BMP is required. GIF files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to BMP solves compatibility issues.
