Convert BMP To PNG

Installation And Setup

This tutorial makes use of ImageMagick; if you are using a modern Linux distribution such as Ubuntu MATE, then The GIMP is already installed, which includes ImageMagick. If not then the terminal command, for Debian-based distributions, is:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

If you want The GIMP:

sudo apt-get install gimp

Converting

Use your terminal to go to the directory that contains the BMP image:

cd where/bmp/image/is

Then the terminal command, assuming the image to convert is called 1.bmp, and assuming you want to call the new file 1.png, is:

convert 1.bmp 1.png
