About BW files
BW files are a type of computer file that stores bitmap images. They are primarily used for storing black and white images, but can also be used to store grayscale images. BW files are usually saved in a .bw or .bmp format, and can be opened and edited with various image editing software such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP. BW files can also be converted to other formats such as JPEG, PNG, and GIF using software such as ImageMagick and IrfanView.
When converting BW files, it is important to consider the resolution of the image and the quality of the output format. BW files are typically low resolution, so converting them to a higher resolution format such as JPEG or PNG can result in a loss of quality. Additionally, BW files are not as widely supported as other image formats, so converting them to more widely supported formats can be beneficial.
Despite the advantages of converting BW files to other formats, there are some drawbacks to using BW files. BW files are not as versatile as other image formats, and they cannot be used for tasks such as creating animations or adding effects. Additionally, BW files can take up a lot of disk space, so they are not ideal for storing large images. For these reasons, it is often best to convert BW files to other formats.

The BW Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best BW converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
