PostScript to BMP

Why convert PostScript to BMP?

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

Where BMP works best

BMP is ideal for legacy Windows software (files are very large). Converting gives you a file that works in the apps and websites that ask for BMP.

PostScript vs BMP: what's the difference?

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

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.

Extension: .ps
Type: Page description language
Best for: 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
