Download your ICO files, after MConverter has finished processing them

Format description
BMP files, also known as bitmap image files, are uncompressed raster images. They contain a file header with a bitmap identifier, width, height and color settings among other information, as well as bitmap pixels with different colors. Because of the lack of any compression, BMP files often have a relatively large file size. Therefore, it may be beneficial to convert such images to newer, better-optimized formats like WebP and AVIF.

ICO are icon files used by Windows and, often, the web. An ICO file can store one or more images in different sizes, so that they can be appropriately selected based on usage. ICO files can have a size of 256x256 pixels at most.
Common questions about converting BMP to ICO
Can I convert BMP to ICO in bulk?
Yes, MConverter supports batch converting of multiple BMPs to ICOs simultaneously. You can even drag and drop folders containing BMPs to convert to ICO. Pasting BMP files and folders copied in the clipboard also works: use Ctrl+V.
Can I convert a BMP file to ICO, if its size is 2 GB?
Yes, with MConverter Pro you can convert big BMPs, up to 2 gigabytes each. The free version lets you convert files up to 100 MB. If you need to convert BMP files over 100 megabytes, try MConverter Pro. If your files aren’t over 1 GB, then you can use MConverter Plus instead, as it’s cheaper.
Is converting BMPs to ICO safe with MConverter?
Yes, we encrypt your connection using industry standards. Plus, your BMP files are only accessible by you. 4 hours after the conversion completes, they are automatically deleted from MConverter’s servers. You can also delete your BMPs and other converted files immediately after finishing the conversion by clicking the bin icon.

How long does it take to convert BMP to ICO?
For most images, the wait should be less than a minute. If they are animated, it may take a little longer. However, MConverter also supports converting larger images, meaning that it could take a while (up to over an hour, for example).
