What file formats do you support?

We support over 100 file formats including images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT), videos (MP4, AVI, MOV), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC), and many more specialized formats.

Yes, absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all file transfers. Your files are automatically deleted from our servers after conversion, and we never store or access your personal data.

What is the maximum file size?

The maximum file size for free users is 100MB per file. Premium users can convert files up to 1GB. For larger files, we recommend our batch processing feature.

How long does conversion take?

Most files convert in under 30 seconds. The exact time depends on file size and format complexity. Our advanced algorithms ensure the fastest possible conversion while maintaining quality.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes! Our batch processing feature allows you to upload and convert up to 50 files simultaneously. This is perfect for bulk conversions and saves significant time.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required for basic conversions. However, creating a free account gives you access to batch processing, file history, and priority support.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare BMP Sources

Export paletted BMPs to 24-bit RGB to avoid palette expansion surprises
Confirm BMP 32-bit alpha semantics in your editor before converting
Flatten layered editor exports into single BMP if you want a final single RLA image
Embed or export ICC profiles separately because BMP embedding is inconsistent
Test RLE-compressed BMPs by opening them in a standard viewer first

Target RLA Encoding

Choose uncompressed RLA for archival fidelity to avoid lossy scanline packing
If downstream tools expect premultiplied alpha, convert BMP alpha accordingly
Record bit-depth expectations—RLA scanlines may be larger than BMP files
Store original BMPs alongside RLAs to retain palette or encoder-specific chunks
Use toolchain notes to indicate whether RLA contains compressed or raw scanlines

Workflow Verification

Open converted RLA in a compositor like Nuke to verify channel mapping
Compare pixel samples at 100% to detect any downsampling from BMP
Validate alpha channel by toggling background and checking edge fringes
Confirm color by viewing source BMP and RLA under the same color-managed viewer
Spot-check metadata fields and record any missing camera tags for auditing

Archive & Performance

Group conversions into 20–50 file batches to balance memory and throughput
Keep original BMPs as canonical masters; RLAs are for compositing and archival access
Ensure sufficient disk space; RLA files can be substantially larger than BMPs
Use checksums after conversion to verify file integrity across storage systems
Automate verification scripts to confirm alpha, dimensions, and sample depth

Fast Processing

Close unused tabs for maximum throughput.

Client-Side Privacy

No media leaves your device.

Broad Compatibility

Output files work across all operating systems.

Pro Tip

For batch conversions, process in groups of 20-50 files to optimize memory usage and avoid browser slowdowns.
