Convert BMP to CAM

File Extension BMP
Full Name Standard Windows Bitmap Image (also OS/2)

Files with the .BMP extension contain an uncompressed raster image, or an image subjected to a non-lossy RLE compression. The data is saved in the form of a heading that defines the color scale and the height and width of the image in pixels, which is followed by data concerning the colors of each individual pixel, from the bottom upwards.

File Extension CAM
Full Name Casio QV Digital CAMera Image Format

File with a .CAM extension contains a compiled pakage of Gerber files stored in the CAM350 software, along with instructions regarding drilling tasks. The Computer-Aided Manufacturing software developed by Gerber company is used to create fabrication layers for printed circuit boards.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "BMP") to another (referred to as "CAM"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, BMP file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format BMP to format CAM becomes essential.

So, how can we perform BMP to CAM file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format BMP and transforming it into format CAM. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of BMP to CAM converters.

How to convert the BMP file to CAM?

If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of BMP to CAM. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the BMP file:

  • Please indicate on your computer the source file BMP, the format of which you are going to change
  • Load the BMP file to the application
  • Select the output format of the CAM file (the one that we want to achieve)
  • Select the location to save the output file CAM on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
  • Confirm conversion
  • Wait for a moment
  • Enjoy the converted CAM file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
