The input file format is BMP. The required output format is BMP. I do not want a reduction of size or quality, but I want to reduce the file size. How is it possible?

Out of curiosity: What purpose requires you to use BMP?– Wrzlprmft ♦Commented Aug 1, 2015 at 7:42

What kind of color depths are we talking here?– joojaaCommented Aug 1, 2015 at 10:23

It is a valid question. 24 bit BMP on Windows, as far as I know, do NOT accept compression.– RafaelCommented Aug 1, 2015 at 19:20

Some aplications needs a bmp file as source images before compiling them. For example one client needed them for a touch screen for a control pannel on an odonthological laser. This BMP files are compressed when compiled.– RafaelCommented Aug 1, 2015 at 20:38

- Use file compression tools - like zipping or adding to rar.
- Reduce 24 bits to lower. But that'd be lossy.
So, you don't really have a way afaik.

According to Wikipedia, BMP supports some compression, though I do not know whether any programs actually support it. But then I am not using BMP anyway.– Wrzlprmft ♦Commented Aug 1, 2015 at 8:06

Acoording to that quote the one that accepts compression on 24 bits is the OS2 operating sistem, that was from IBM long ago extint.– RafaelCommented Aug 1, 2015 at 19:19
