BMP stands for bitmap images and is used to store pictures or digital images. This format is also known as DIB file format because it is device independent bitmap. GUI i.e. graphical user interface subsystems use bitmap as their official image format like Microsoft Windows, GDI subsystems etc. This format stores bitmap digital images especially on Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems. Images stored in bitmap format have file extension of .BMP or .DIB. Uncompressed BMP files can store 1bit per pixel to 32 bit per pixel of image which determines the quality of the image. The BMP images are used in applications like IE (Internet Explorer), Netscape, MS Office package applications like MS Word, Quick Time etc.
