• The amount of information is a grid
• It supports various alpha channels, color and optical data compression
• The file could be compressed or uncompressed without a loss of compression

Reading the BMP file format is simple to read because it is stored in an uncompressed form. This compels many graphic experts to use sample BMP files.
