Technical note

Before you convert TAB to BMP

TAB coordinates are positions on the earth, tied to a stated reference system, and each feature carries its own row of attributes. BMP is a picture: the coordinates become pixel positions and the attribute table is dropped entirely. That is fine for illustration and no use as data, so keep the TAB original if anything downstream needs to query or reproject the features. TAB describes geometry rather than pixels, so it has no inherent resolution. The conversion renders it at whatever size you choose, and that choice is final: enlarging the BMP afterwards will not recover the sharpness. Set the output dimensions or DPI before converting, not after.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see TAB data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to BMP for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to BMP with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Stamp a text watermark, such as a project name or a date, on every image
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

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

TAB to BMP Conversion

What are TAB files?

The TAB file format is associated with software developed by MapInfo Corporation, an American provider of mapping applications. TAB files are popular among users of GIS software and store geospatial datasets in vector format that can also include raster images and grid surfaces as layers.

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.
