BMP to GIF

• BMP is a native format of Microsoft Paint, a simple image editor bundled with Windows. The BMP format uses a lossless data compression algorithm called RLE (run-length encoding). Nowadays, more efficient formats exist that achieve much higher compression ratios. That's why BMP files, which usually have a large size, are rarely used for the Web.
• GIF is an abbreviation of "Graphics Interchange Format." GIF files have a small size and may contain a few "frames" (images), which makes it possible to create simple animations. The GIF format's major drawback is its limited number of colors.

1. Download, install, and launch Image Assistant.
2. Click the Add Images button and select the BMP files to be converted.
