Convert BMP to HEIC

BMP files are a popular image file format used for storing bitmap data. Bitmaps are made up of a grid of pixels, where each pixel represents a single point of color on the image. This means that BMP files are able to store high-quality images with a wide range of colors. Unlike other compressed file formats, such as JPEG or PNG, BMP files are uncompressed, meaning that they do not lose any image quality during the saving process. As a result, BMP files tend to be larger in size compared to other file formats. BMP files are commonly used in applications that require high-quality images, such as graphic design, printing, and medical imaging. They can be easily opened and edited using various image editing software.

HEIC files, also known as High Efficiency Image Format, are a type of image file format that was introduced by Apple. This format is specifically designed to optimize and compress image files while maintaining high-quality resolution. HEIC files use the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) compression algorithm, which allows for better compression than other file formats like JPEG or PNG without sacrificing image quality. This means that HEIC files can store more image data in a smaller file size, making them ideal for preserving storage space on devices. However, since HEIC files are relatively new, they may not be universally supported by all devices and software applications, which can make it difficult to view or share these files in certain situations.
