Word to BMP Transformation FAQ
At what resolution / DPI does the BMP render?
+
Pages are rendered at 150 DPI, which is crisp on screen and fine for most printing. There is no DPI setting for Word to BMP. For 72 or 300 DPI, convert the Word to PDF first, then use the PDF to BMP converter, which has a Resolution setting.
Can I convert just specific pages of the Word to BMP?
+
No. There is no page setting for Word files, so every page is rendered as its own BMP and you keep the ones you need. If you only want the first page, convert the Word to PDF and then use the PDF to BMP converter, whose Pages menu offers First page only.
Can I use the BMP images as previews or thumbnails?
+
Yes. The first page of a Word rendered as a BMP makes a good document thumbnail or preview card. Every page is converted here, so take the first BMP from the set, or convert the Word to PDF and use the PDF to BMP converter with First page only to get a single file.
Will the BMP be searchable or selectable text?
+
No — rasterizing the Word to BMP turns text into pixels, so the image is not searchable or selectable. That is intentional: image output is for pixel-exact visual sharing. If you need editable or searchable output, convert the Word to DOCX or keep it as text instead.
Is my Word private during conversion?
+
Yes. Uploaded Word files are processed on our own conversion servers, no person reviews them, and they are never shared. The upload and the converted BMP are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
How long does Word to BMP take for a long document?
+
It depends on the size and length of the file. Small documents and images are usually ready quickly. Long videos take the longest, because most video conversions re-encode every frame.
Why does my BMP look pixelated when zoomed in?
+
You are viewing a raster image, so zooming past its native resolution shows the pixels. A Word renders at a fixed 150 DPI here. For a sharper BMP, convert the Word to PDF and use the PDF to BMP converter at 300 DPI.
