Yes. Add up to 30 BMP files and convert them in one batch. You can even choose a different output format for individual files, then download them separately or together as a ZIP.

BMP to PostScript

Why convert BMP to PostScript?

The main difference: BMP is a lossless format, while PostScript is a vector format.

Where PostScript works best

PostScript is ideal for print jobs and printer workflows. Converting gives you a file that works in the apps and websites that ask for PostScript.

BMP vs PostScript: what's the difference?

Property	BMP	PostScript
Compression type	Lossless (exact pixels, larger files)	Vector (shapes, not pixels)
Transparent background	No	No
Animation	No	No
Where it opens	Most browsers, rarely used on the web	None (needs a PostScript viewer)
Used for	Legacy Windows software (files are very large)	Print jobs and printer workflows

What is a BMP file?

BMP (bitmap) is Microsoft's original Windows image format. It stores pixels with little or no compression, so it's simple and lossless but very large - a 12-megapixel photo can top 35 MB.

BMP is mainly found in older Windows software, some industrial and embedded systems, and scanner output. For almost every other use, PNG gives the same quality at a fraction of the size.

How to open a BMP file

Windows Photos and Paint open BMP files, as does Mac Preview. Most browsers can display them too. Convert to PNG for a lossless copy that's much smaller, or JPG for photos.

Extensions: .bmp, .dib
Compression: None (usually)
Transparency: Rarely supported
Best for: Legacy Windows software

What is a PostScript file?

PostScript (.ps) is Adobe's page description language from 1984 - the language many professional printers speak. A .ps file describes a whole page or document as instructions for drawing text, shapes and images.

PostScript files mostly come from print workflows and "print to file" output. PDF was built on the same ideas and has replaced it for everyday use.

How to open a PostScript file

Ghostscript and GSview open PostScript files on Windows; macOS Preview handled them up to Monterey. Adobe Acrobat Distiller converts them to PDF. Converting to PDF or PNG is the easiest way to view one today.
