Why are the files so large?

BMP stores every pixel uncompressed, so size scales directly with resolution. A single A4 page at 300 DPI runs to roughly 25 MB, which is normal for the format rather than a fault.

When would I choose BMP over PNG?

Almost only when something downstream demands it. PNG is lossless too and a fraction of the size, so BMP is a compatibility choice rather than a quality one.

What DPI should I use?

Match the target display or printer. 96 DPI suits screens, 300 suits print, and going beyond what the destination can reproduce only inflates the file.

Über PDF zu BMP

PDF to BMP renders pages as uncompressed Windows bitmap images at a resolution you choose. BMP applies no compression at all, which makes the files large but guarantees that no lossy artefacts are introduced anywhere in the pipeline.

Pages are rasterised on a canvas inside the page and saved straight to your downloads folder.

PDF zu BMP verwenden

Open a PDF and choose all pages or a specific range.
Set the DPI. Higher values give more detail and much larger files, since nothing is compressed.
Render the pages.
Download the images, one file per page.

In der Produktion

Some signage controllers and older display hardware accept only BMP, and will silently refuse anything else. When a running order has to appear on a legacy screen at a venue, matching the format the hardware demands is not a preference but a requirement.
