BMP
Windows Bitmap (BMP) is a format used by MS Windows and other
programs which value simplicity over economy. BMP files are almost
always uncompressed and so very large.
BMP can include 1, 4, 8 or 24 bits per pixel, allowing both indexed and
full colour. Neither transparency nor animation are supported.
