What is a .bmp file?
image/bmp
BMP (Windows Bitmap) is an uncompressed or lightly RLE-compressed raster format that stores pixels in a simple device-independent layout. Files are large because pixel data is typically stored raw, often bottom-up, with various bit depths from 1 to 32 bits per pixel. It is a legacy Windows format still useful as a lossless intermediate.
How to use a .bmp file
Use an example BMP to test low-level raster parsing, row-padding and scanline-order handling, and converters that read uncompressed pixel data across bit depths.
