===BMP===

'''The [[Windows bitmap|BMP]] (bit mapped) format''' is used internally in the [[Microsoft Windows]] operating system to handle graphics images. These files are typically not compressed resulting in large files. The main advantage of BMP files is their wide acceptance and use in Windows programs. But, because of file size they are not suitable for file transfer. Computers using Windows are likely to find BMP images in file. Scanned images are in BMP form.
