BMP File Type


BMP is a graphics file format used to store bitmap image data. The BMP file extension is often used for screen shots, icons, or other images that are not likely to change once they are created. The size of the BMP file depends on the type of image that it stores. For example, a small icon may be only 24x24 pixels in size while a high quality photograph will require much more space. An open .BMP file can be displayed in an application by double clicking it.
