File Description

Uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels; contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.

BMP files may contain different levels of color depths per pixel, depending on the number of bits per pixel specified in the file header; they may also be stored using a grayscale color scheme.
