Convert BMP to VP3

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 VP3
Full Name On2 Streaming Video Format

VP3 is the extension given to files that store streaming video data. It is a compressed format using codecs developed by On2 Technologies Inc. It is a series of video codecs collectively called TrueMotion. This format uses lossy compression. VP3 files can be supported by many movie playback programs, but must have the correct codec installed.

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 "VP3"). 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 VP3 becomes essential.

So, how can we perform BMP to VP3 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 VP3. 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 VP3 converters.
