How do I convert a BMP file to SCR format?

Upload your BMP image, select the target resolution (e.g., 256x192), adjust the color mapping for the ZX Spectrum's attribute grid, and click Convert. Your SCR file will be downloaded instantly. The entire process takes seconds.

Why convert BMP to SCR instead of using the original BMP?

BMP files store high-resolution RGB data, while SCR is the native screen format for ZX Spectrum emulators and hardware. SCR is compact, uses a fixed palette, and ensures your image displays correctly in retro environments without manual tweaking.

What happens to colors and resolution when converting BMP to SCR?

The conversion maps pixels to a 256x192 grid using nearest-neighbor scaling to preserve edges. Colors are reduced to the ZX Spectrum's 8-color palette (with two brightness levels), and each 8x8 attribute block uses a single foreground/background pair. Alpha transparency is not supported in SCR and is discarded.
