About formats

BMP (Bitmap) is a raster image file format developed by Microsoft for the Windows operating system, introduced with Windows 3.0 in 1990. The format stores pixel data in a straightforward structure: a file header specifying dimensions, color depth, and compression method, followed by an optional color palette and then the raw pixel array. BMP supports color depths from 1-bit monochrome through 4-bit and 8-bit indexed color to 16-bit, 24-bit true color, and 32-bit with alpha channel. Most BMP files store pixels uncompressed (BI_RGB), though optional RLE compression is available for 4-bit and 8-bit modes. Pixels are arranged in bottom-up row order by default, with each row padded to a 4-byte boundary. One advantage is absolute simplicity — the format has no complex encoding, filtering, or compression layers, making BMP files trivial to read and write programmatically in any language. This simplicity also means BMP images render with zero decoding overhead, useful in scenarios where decompression latency matters. The format's deep Windows integration is another strength: BMP is the native bitmap format for Windows GDI, clipboard operations, and device-independent bitmap (DIB) handling, ensuring first-class support across the entire Windows ecosystem. While BMP's lack of compression produces large files unsuitable for web use or storage-constrained environments, it remains widely used as an intermediate format in image processing, as a clipboard exchange format, and in embedded systems where decoding simplicity outweighs file size.

OXPS (Open XPS) is a fixed-layout document format standardized as ECMA-388 in June 2009, representing an evolution of Microsoft's original XPS specification. The format packages fixed-layout pages, fonts, images, and metadata in a ZIP-based Open Packaging Conventions container — the same packaging framework used by DOCX, XLSX, and other Office Open XML formats. Each page is described using an XML markup language that specifies paths, glyphs, images, and canvas elements with precise coordinates, producing documents that render identically regardless of the viewing device or printer. OXPS incorporated several changes from the original XPS: the use of JPEG XR for high dynamic range images, support for the Open Packaging Conventions 2nd edition, and alignment with the Ecma standardization process. Windows 8 and later generate OXPS (rather than XPS) when printing to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer. One advantage is standards-based document fidelity — as an Ecma standard, OXPS provides a vendor-neutral, fully specified format for documents that must look identical everywhere they are rendered, essential for legal filings, regulatory submissions, and archival records. The fixed-layout model is another strength: unlike reflowable formats, OXPS documents preserve exact page composition including precise glyph positioning and vector graphics. Built-in support in Windows and the .NET framework provides native viewing and creation capabilities without third-party software.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert BMP to OXPS?

OXPS wraps your BMP in an Open XML paper document — providing a fixed-layout format for accurate printing and long-term document storage.

What programs open OXPS files?

Common options include XPS Viewer (Windows 8+), Evince, Okular. The format has good support across major operating systems.

What happens to my uploaded files?

Your BMP files are automatically deleted right after conversion. The resulting OXPS files remain available for download for 24 hours, then they are permanently removed.

Does this work on mobile devices?

Yes — the BMP to OXPS converter works in any mobile browser on iOS and Android. No app installation is needed — just open convertio.tools and upload your file.

Can I convert BMP to OXPS for free?

Yes — Convertio offers free BMP to OXPS conversion. For professional volumes and larger files, premium plans provide expanded limits and priority processing.

Does BMP to OXPS lose quality?

Lossless formats like PNG preserve every pixel. Lossy formats like JPG trade minimal visual quality for dramatic size reduction — usually imperceptible.
