Does converting GIF to BMP improve the image quality?

No. GIF and BMP both store every pixel exactly, so the picture is untouched — only the file format changes.

What happens to transparency?

It is lost. GIF supports transparency and BMP does not, so transparent areas are filled with white. If the background colour matters, flatten the image onto a solid background before converting.

Is there a file size limit?

No limit that we impose. The only ceiling is your device's memory, so a very large photo or a long recording may take a few seconds.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, so the file never leaves your device — go offline once the page has loaded and keep converting.
