Fun Fact
The PNG format was created as a free and open alternative to GIF in the mid-1990s and quickly became one of the most widely used image formats on the internet due to its lossless compression and support for transparency.
Historical Context
The Bitmap or BMP format is one of the oldest image file formats, introduced by Microsoft in the early days of Windows computing. While BMP files were popular for their simplicity and raw image quality, they often produced very large file sizes. As the internet evolved, PNG emerged as a superior alternative, offering lossless compression and better portability. This tool bridges that gap by helping users convert legacy bitmap images into a modern, efficient, and web-friendly PNG format.
