| Description | EMF (Enhanced Metafile) is a spool image file format, which is configured for 32-bit OSs. This device-independent format is supported by a number of Windows-based applications. If you take a snapshot and save it in this format, its dimensions will remain unchanged in any device. EMF files consist of so called records, which reflect dimensions, initial resolution, metafile’s bulk, GDI (graphics device interface) functions, etc. EMF descended from the 16-bit WMF. |

| Description | May be the simplest file format, BMP was developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM. That is why it is widespread on Windows platform. This extension is characterized a raster graphic format which is recognized by many programs today. In comparison with other bitmap formats, JPEG and GIF, BMP keeps color data for each pixel in the image and doesn't compress images to decrease a file size. That is what makes it perfect file format for printable images. |

Windows developers and legacy system integrators convert EMF vector graphics to BMP to produce uncompressed raster images compatible with older applications, resource editors, and embedded systems that require raw bitmap data.
EMF (Enhanced MetaFile) is a Windows vector graphics format that records GDI drawing commands for resolution-independent output. It is used in the Windows print spooler and embedded in Office documents. EMF is Windows-only and requires GDI/GDI+ to render — it cannot be displayed on non-Windows platforms without conversion to a raster format.
BMP (Bitmap) is the native raster image format for Windows, storing uncompressed pixel data in a straightforward DIB (Device-Independent Bitmap) structure. BMP files are large compared to PNG or JPEG because there is no compression, but they are instantly readable by any Windows API, resource compiler, or embedded system with a simple BMP parser. BMP supports 1-bit, 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit color depths.
