Convert ICO to BMP
| File Extension | ICO |
| Full Name | Icon Format |
File with an .ICO extension contains a small image – two bitmaps; used as an icon of programs and catalogues in Windows system. The two bitmaps, one called „AND”, imaging a mask indicating transparency and the other one – „XOR”, containing icon image. An example of frequently used ICO file is favicon.
| 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.
What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "ICO") to another (referred to as "BMP"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, ICO 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 ICO to format BMP becomes essential.
So, how can we perform ICO to BMP 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 ICO and transforming it into format BMP. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of ICO to BMP converters.
Conversion from ICO to BMP
How to convert the ICO file to BMP?
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of ICO to BMP. 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 ICO file:
- Please indicate on your computer the source file ICO, the format of which you are going to change
- Load the ICO file to the application
- Select the output format of the BMP file (the one that we want to achieve)
- Select the location to save the output file BMP on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
- Confirm conversion
- Wait for a moment
- Enjoy the converted BMP file that can be found in the location selected in step 4

I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
