Convert BMP to GIF with Minimum Effort

BMP is an uncompressed image file format that stores high-quality images without compression. It was developed by Microsoft and is mainly used for archiving purposes due to its high quality. However, compared to the losslessly compressed GIF, BMP is larger in size and does not support animation. Therefore, if you want to reduce file size or create animation for a BMP file, you should convert it to GIF.

Below, I will share with you two easy tools, WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro (offline) and Aspose (online), to easily handle the conversion. Let’s see the details below.

WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro is a feature-rich software program on Windows that includes a handy GIF maker that can help you make GIFs from videos or a series of images such as PNG, JPG, and of course BMP. It allows you to convert one or more BMP files to GIF animations. At the same time, it gives you full control over the size, quality, and speed of the GIF to meet your personalized needs. The whole process only requires a few simple clicks, so it's very quick. Next, let me show you how to make a GIF from BMP files using this software.

Launch the software and click GIF Maker, select Convert Photos to GIF. Then in the GIF maker interface, click + Add Images to import at least one BMP file into the program.

NOTE: If you want the images to appear in a specific order, rename the images in that order. The order cannot be changed once the files are imported into the software.

On the right side of the interface, you can see the Width, Height, Quality, and Time Delay of the GIF file. The width and height default to the parameters of the first image, and you can freely adjust them to different values.
