RGB to BGR Bitmap Converter

World's simplest bitmap tool
This is a free and fast online utility that converts bitmap pixels from RGB channel order to BGR channel order. You can use the configuration options (below) to specify the bitmap's current channel order and choose any of the six channel orders for the output: RGB, RBG, GRB, GBR, BRG, or BGR. Created by graphics designers from team Browserling.

What is a RGB to BGR Bitmap Converter?

learn more about this tool
This free online browser-based program converts the color channels of a bitmap from RGB order to BGR order. By default, it reads each input pixel as red (R), green (G), and blue (B), and rearranges the three channel values as blue (B), green (G), and red (R). In other words, it swaps the positions of the red (R) and blue (B) values. Raw pixel data in uncompressed 24-bit BMP files normally stores color bytes in BGR order. This conversion can fix errors in bitmap images where RGB bytes are accidentally packed as BGR bytes. In the options, you can select a different output order, including RBG, GRB, GBR, BRG, or RGB. If the input bitmap already contains rearranged color channels, you can also specify its current input order so that the program interprets the existing values correctly before converting them to the selected output order. Bmp-abulous!

RGB to BGR Bitmap Converter examples

Click to use
Display Link's Sprite in BGR Order
In this example, we load a pixel sprite of Link from The Legend of Zelda and change its channel order from RGB to BGR. Standard 24-bit BMP pixel data stores the three color bytes as blue, green, and red. Therefore, this conversion recreates how the sprite would look if that BGR byte sequence were displayed directly as RGB channels without being decoded: the warm gold and brown tones become blue, while much of Link's green clothing stays green because the middle channel keeps its position.

Convert Pepper Colors to BGR Order
In this example, we convert an RGB bitmap of red and yellow peppers on a blue background to BGR order. Exchanging red and blue turns the blue background brownish orange, changes the red pepper to blue-violet, and makes the yellow pepper bright cyan. The green stems change much less because green remains in the middle position of color channels. (Source: Pexels.)

Reorder a Coral Reef Bitmap as BRG
In this example, we select BRG as the new channel order for an underwater bitmap. Moving blue into the first position, red into the second, and green into the third turns the light-blue ocean pink and changes the red tropical fish to lime green. The black shadow areas of the coral reef remain unchanged because black has equal red, green, and blue values of zero. The same is true for every grayscale tone: as its three channel values are equal, rearranging them produces exactly the same color. (Source: Pexels.)
