Bitmap Image (.bmp)

The BMP (Bitmap Image) file extension is a raster graphics format used primarily for storing digital images. Developed by Microsoft, BMP files retain high image quality due to their lack of compression, making them ideal for preserving detailed and colorful images. Introduced in the early days of Windows, BMP's simplicity and widespread compatibility have cemented its role in digital imaging, despite being superseded by more efficient formats in many applications.
