CNET GLOSSARY: Terms for the techie
BMP
BMP, which stands for bitmap, is the native graphics file format for Windows users. The images you see when Windows starts up and closes and the wallpaper that adorns your desktop are all in BMP format. BMP tends to store graphical data inefficiently, so the files it creates are usually large.
