What is "bitmap"?
Bitmap (BMP) is a type of digital image file format that stores images as a grid of individual pixels. Each pixel in a BMP file has its own color value, creating a detailed and uncompressed representation of the image. BMP files are known for their high quality because they do not compress the image data, but this also means they can have large file sizes. They are often used in scenarios where image quality is prioritized over file size.
