Old Windows bitmaps from scanners and legacy software are the usual BMP source here, and TIFF is the archive format those scans move into. BMP is the old uncompressed Windows bitmap format: simple, widely readable by legacy software, and very large for its pixel count. This free bmp to tiff converter does that conversion entirely in your browser, so your file is never uploaded and no signup is needed. TIFF output here is a single uncompressed 8-bit TIFF, suited to print and archive tools that expect TIFF rather than a web format. The honest limits: TIFF output is uncompressed, so expect a large download even from a small input. Keep the original file if you need a small web copy too.
How to use this bmp to tiff converter

Only the first page of a multi-page TIFF is converted, and data above 8 bits per channel is narrowed to 8-bit output.
The converted file downloads with the same base name and the new extension, ready to use.
