Convert PNG to BMP
Some piece of software will only read an uncompressed Windows bitmap, typically an embedded display, a label printer, a game modding tool or an old Visual Basic application.

What actually changes
PNG and BMP are not the same picture in two wrappers.
The compressed PNG is expanded back into raw pixel rows with a BMP header. Nothing is lost visually and the file gets much larger, because that is the entire point of the format.
Worth knowing first
Transparency does not survive in practice. Our encoder writes a standard 24-bit BMP, so alpha is composited away rather than stored, because the 32-bit alpha variants of BMP are read inconsistently by exactly the old software that needs BMP in the first place.
Questions
PNG to BMP, answered
Why would anyone want an uncompressed file?
Because decoding costs nothing. A microcontroller driving a small display can read a BMP row by row with no decompressor at all.
How big will the file be?
Roughly width times height times three bytes, plus a small header. A 1920 by 1080 image is about 6 MB regardless of content.

Windows Bitmap is lossless, so nothing is thrown away in the conversion.

Instant, because the file never went anywhere. Nothing expires, since nothing was stored.
