Why convert HEIC to BMP?
Apple made HEIC the default camera format on iPhone because it stores photos at roughly half the size of JPG. Outside the Apple ecosystem support is poor: Windows needs paid extensions and many websites reject HEIC uploads, making it one of the most converted formats on the web.
BMP stores pixels with little or no compression, which makes files huge but trivially simple to read. It is mostly seen in legacy Windows workflows, screenshots from older tools and some scientific software. Converting to a compressed format usually shrinks a BMP by 90 percent or more.
