Technical note

Before you convert ASC to BMP

Every cell in an ASC file holds a measurement rather than a colour, usually elevation in metres, running from sea level up to whatever the highest point in the tile happens to be. BMP stores brightness, so the conversion stretches that range across a grey or colour scale. What you get is a readable picture of the terrain, and it is the right thing for a relief map or a figure. What you no longer have is the data: sampling a pixel in the BMP returns a shade, not an altitude. ASC carries georeferencing: a coordinate reference system, and the real-world position and ground size of every pixel. BMP has nowhere to record any of that. The picture transfers intact, the location does not, so the output cannot be dropped onto a map afterwards without being placed by hand. Keep the ASC original if the data still has to go back into a GIS.

This online converter works perfectly for small batches of files. I occasionally need to convert BMP to JPG, and it doesn't make sense to install software for such simple tasks. It's much easier to just visit the site, click a couple buttons, and get the same quality result in seconds.

FAQ

ASC to BMP Conversion

What are ASC files?

The ASC (Esri ASCII Grid) format stores raster geospatial data as plain text. Developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), it describes a rectangular grid of cells using a short header — number of columns and rows, coordinates of the lower-left corner, cell size and a no-data value — followed by the cell values themselves, written row by row as ordinary numbers. Because the entire grid is human-readable text, ASC is widely used for exchanging elevation models, slope maps and other continuous surfaces between GIS packages that would otherwise share no common binary format.

What are BMP files?

The BMP or Bitmap file format is a popular raster graphic format, compatible with a wide array of image processing software, both on PC and Mac computers. BMP files store grids of pixels and detailed information concerning color tones and shades, and are highly appreciated for their ability to provide increased quality images. However, due to the lack of any compression algorithm in storing pixel data, BMP images can often be very large in size and thus difficult to store or transfer.
