BMP

BMP Image

Raster & Vector Images

BMP is an uncompressed raster image format native to Windows. Files are large but preserve exact pixel data with no compression artifacts. Rarely used on the web due to file size.

ODS

OpenDocument Spreadsheet

Spreadsheets & Data

ODS is the open-standard spreadsheet format used by LibreOffice Calc. It provides full spreadsheet functionality without vendor lock-in and is required by some government agencies.

Über ODS-Dateien

Vorteilsvergleich

BMP Vorteile

Dead-simple format — trivially easy to read and write.
Lossless and uncompressed — perfect bit-exact pixel storage.
Universally supported in Windows applications since 1985.
Supports 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32-bit color depths.

ODS Vorteile

Open standard (ISO/IEC 26300).
Native to LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Collabora.
Human-readable XML, easy to script.
Preferred by governments and open-data initiatives.
Supports macros via Basic (BeanShell, Python also possible).

Einschränkungen

BMP Einschränkungen

Enormous file sizes — no meaningful compression in typical use.
Not a web format — browsers support it but nobody serves BMPs over HTTP.
No metadata support (no EXIF, no ICC profile in practice).
Multiple header versions mean "a BMP" is ambiguous — parsers must handle several variants.

ODS Einschränkungen

Excel opens ODS but often loses conditional formatting and advanced formulas.
Microsoft-specific formulas (FILTER, LAMBDA) rarely round-trip.
Business adoption is niche — XLSX dominates real-world exchange.
Complex cross-sheet macros may break between ODS and Excel workflows.

BMP (Bitmap) is a raster image format developed by Microsoft for Windows. It stores images with no compression by default, resulting in large file sizes but pixel-perfect quality. It has been part of Windows since version 1.0.

PNG is better than BMP in almost every scenario since it provides lossless compression (smaller files), transparency support, and wider cross-platform use. BMP is mainly relevant for legacy Windows applications.
