About
Sitting on a BMP file that you need in GIF format? This converter handles the switch quickly, reducing the color palette to fit within GIF's 256-color limit. The resulting file will be dramatically smaller than the original BMP while still looking clean. Useful when you are modernizing old image assets or need a web-friendly format from a legacy source.

Pro Tips
