PNG is introduced in 1996 as an open alternative to GIF and is the universal web and design format for logos, screenshots. BMP was created by Microsoft in 1987 and is best for Windows legacy software, uncompressed pixel data. Converting PNG to BMP gives you a file that works in the tools and platforms where BMP is required. PNG files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to BMP solves compatibility issues.
