Developer: N/A
File type: Bitmap Image File
You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .bmp. Files with the file extension .bmp can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .bmp files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .bmp file?

The BMP file format is comprised of a set of image encoding specifications implemented for the production of uncompressed raster image files. These bitmap image files are attached with file headers that include bitmap identifiers among other details specific to the image content of the corresponding BMP files. The digital image content stored in a BMP file consists of pixels within a rectangular grid. The pixels contained in these BMP files can be integrated with varying color depths, depending on the file headers of the BMP files. Grayscale gradients may also be applied unto the pixels of a .bmp file, and these .bmp files can be exported unto more widely used digital image file formats with smaller size for optimal portability.

how to open a .bmp file?

Launch a .bmp file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .bmp file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .bmp files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .bmp file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a  .bmp file will open the correct application.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .bmp files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .bmp. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
