File Extension | BMP |
Full Name | Standard Windows Bitmap Image (also OS/2) |
Files with the .BMP extension contain an uncompressed raster image, or an image subjected to a non-lossy RLE compression. The data is saved in the form of a heading that defines the color scale and the height and width of the image in pixels, which is followed by data concerning the colors of each individual pixel, from the bottom upwards.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "BMP") to another (referred to as "SAI"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, BMP file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format BMP to format SAI becomes essential.
So, how can we perform BMP to SAI file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format BMP and transforming it into format SAI. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of BMP to SAI converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of BMP to SAI. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the BMP file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
