GIF to BMP conversion produces the plain uncompressed bitmap that vintage Windows programs, device firmware, and simple graphics code can parse. It is a niche but genuine need — BMP predates the web and remains the lowest-common-denominator raster format on Windows.

Why convert GIF to BMP?
- Open old forum graphics and pixel art in Windows 95/XP-era software that never supported GIF.
- Generate splash screens for microcontrollers and kiosks whose firmware reads only BMP.
- Get a byte-level predictable file for testing image parsers without LZW decompression.
Tip: Two things vanish in transit: animation (only the first frame is kept) and transparency (BMP fills transparent pixels with a solid background).
