SVGZ to BMP: the rasterization at a fixed canvas route explained
The paths and shapes in SVGZ are rasterized onto a fixed pixel grid, then that canvas is encoded as BMP. Scaling the derivative later cannot recover the original curves. SVGZ is first decompressed to SVG XML, then its viewBox, path tree, styles, text, filters, clipping, and external references are interpreted as vector content. The BMP writer commits one rectangular pixel surface with explicit row order and color depth; it is aimed at simple bitmap interchange, not layered or multi-resolution artwork.
Source material - An SVG XML document wrapped in Gzip compression for smaller transfer. Rendered deliverable - A broadly understood bitmap with straightforward pixel storage and little compression.

Deciding when SVGZ to BMP is the right conversion
BMP is right once the destination genuinely needs pixels. Logos, diagrams, or print work that must stay resolution independent still belong in SVGZ.
What changes between the SVGZ model and the BMP deliverable
- Alpha transparency that SVGZ can carry has no equivalent in BMP; inspect how clear pixels are flattened.
- Scalable SVGZ paths become a fixed-resolution BMP pixel grid; choose dimensions before delivery.
- SVGZ and BMP use different metadata conventions, so application-specific fields should be treated as optional until verified.
Checking the BMP result before you trust it
Record the SVGZ evidence before conversion
Decompress and validate the SVG, then inspect viewBox, paths, text, filters, clipping, links, and referenced assets.
Test the BMP file in its receiving workflow
Confirm dimensions, color depth, orientation, and whether the receiving app reads transparency.
SVGZ source facts versus BMP output requirements
What can fail when SVGZ vector graphic is interpreted
Some uploaders and editors do not decompress SVGZ automatically, and external assets or fonts remain separate dependencies.
What BMP raster image cannot safely promise
BMP derivatives are often much larger than web images and may encode alpha or row order differently between apps.
How the BMP writer handles this route
The writer builds a broadly understood bitmap with straightforward pixel storage and little compression and labels the result as image/bmp. The receiving application - Not the extension alone - Is the final compatibility test.
