Convert embroidery cache files (BMC) online for free
The converter easily converts your BMC cache files to various formats - free and online. No Wilcom EmbroideryStudio or or other Raster Image software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Bitmap" file type, you need software like Wilcom EmbroideryStudio or a similar tool.
The .BMC file extension is highly fragmented, meaning it serves entirely different purposes depending on the software that created it. Most commonly, it functions as an Embroidery Design Bitmap used by BERNINA and Wilcom EmbroideryStudio to store raster image representations of embroidery patterns. Alternatively, it is frequently used as a Bitmap Cache File by Microsoft Remote Desktop to temporarily store graphical screen tiles and reduce bandwidth usage. Other niche uses include JSON-based projects for the BMC-Creator (Business Model Canvas) application, proprietary 3D meshes for the Shaiya MMORPG, and CNC engraving files.
This fragmentation makes .BMC files incredibly frustrating to handle. Without inspecting the binary header, you cannot know if you need an expensive $1,000+ embroidery digitizer, a specific vintage game client, or just a simple text editor. Furthermore, proprietary embroidery bitmaps and RDP cache formats are useless for web sharing and lock users out of their own graphical data without specialized viewers.
To make these files useful, conversion is almost always required. If you have an embroidery .BMC file, you should convert it to a machine stitch format like DST, PES, or EXP for production, or a standard PNG to share a visual preview with clients. For RDP cache files, specialized extractors can piece the tiles back together into BMP files. For Business Model Canvas files, exporting the underlying JSON to a PDF is best for archiving.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our BMC converter.
