DIB (Device Independent Bitmap) stores raw, uncompressed pixel data in the Windows GDI internal format. DIB files originate from Windows clipboard operations, legacy application screen captures, industrial monitoring systems, and embedded devices that interface with the Windows API. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is the modern lossless image format for the web, supporting full color, alpha transparency, and efficient DEFLATE compression.

Converting DIB to PNG compresses the raw bitmap data into a significantly smaller file while preserving every pixel perfectly. This is the ideal conversion for DIB files because PNG provides lossless compression (unlike JPEG), universal compatibility (unlike DIB), and transparency support (unlike BMP). A 6 MB DIB screen capture typically compresses to 200-800 KB as PNG — a 90%+ reduction with zero quality loss.

PNG is the best general-purpose replacement for DIB files. It preserves every pixel losslessly while dramatically reducing file size through DEFLATE compression. For screenshots and UI captures (the most common DIB content), PNG compression is extremely efficient because these images contain large areas of solid color and repeating patterns that compress well. PNG is also universally viewable — every browser, operating system, and image editor supports it.

DIB's lack of a standard file header makes it incompatible with most non-Windows software. PNG eliminates this compatibility barrier while adding features DIB lacks: alpha channel transparency, gamma correction, ICC color profiles, and text metadata. For any workflow beyond raw Windows GDI operations, PNG is strictly superior to DIB.

The DIB BITMAPINFOHEADER is parsed to extract dimensions, bit depth, color table, and scanline data. Bottom-up scanlines (DIB standard) are flipped to top-down order (PNG standard). The pixel data is encoded as PNG with DEFLATE compression via ImageMagick or Sharp. Color depth mapping: 1-bit DIB becomes 1-bit or 8-bit PNG, 4/8-bit indexed DIB becomes indexed PNG with palette, 24-bit DIB becomes 24-bit RGB PNG, 32-bit DIB becomes 32-bit RGBA PNG (preserving alpha channel). PNG filter selection (None, Sub, Up, Average, Paeth) is optimized per scanline for best compression.

Yes. PNG DEFLATE compression is mathematically lossless — the decoded PNG is bit-for-bit identical to the original DIB pixel data. No quality is lost.

For screenshots and UI content, typically 85-95% compression (a 6 MB DIB becomes 200-800 KB PNG). For photographic content, compression is lower (60-70%) because photos have less repeating data.

Yes. 32-bit DIB contains an alpha channel which is mapped directly to PNG's alpha channel. Transparency is fully preserved.

Yes, but this is rarely needed. Modern applications should work with PNG directly. Converting back produces an identical-quality DIB since the conversion is lossless in both directions.

DIB stores raw, uncompressed pixel data. PNG applies DEFLATE compression (the same algorithm used in ZIP) plus predictive filtering that exploits patterns in the image data. Screenshots with solid-color regions compress exceptionally well.
