File extension BMP - Standard Windows Bitmap image (also OS/2)

What is BMP file extension:

BitMaPped graphic - standard, non-compressed bit-mapped graphics format used in the Windows.
BMP files store graphics in a format called device-independent bitmap (DIB).
Bitmap images, also called raster images, use a grid (the bitmap or raster) of small squares known as pixels to represent images. Each pixel is assigned a specific location and color value.

Also Award BIOS versions have the ability to display a full-screen boot logo instead of the usual POST screen. The logo itself is embedded in the BIOS image, and although its file name has the extension .BMP, it is not a BMP file - it's a simplistic format referred to AWBM.
