What is a BM_ file

BM_ files mostly belong to PCPaint. BM_ files are bitmap image files that store pixel-based data in different internal formats.
They are used in several contexts, such as:

Atari ST bitmap images: These files were originally created and used on Atari ST systems and are often associated with programs like PCPaint.

CAP format images: In some cases, BM_ files use the CAP internal file format and are known as OS/2 Bitmap graphics. They can be opened with Microsoft Paint. More details can be found here.

Game data files: A subset of these files serves as game data, storing bitmapped images and even embroidery details. Discussion on this use is available here.

FilExt.com note: This file type holds basic image data, and its structure depends on its origin. Specialized viewers or conversion tools may be needed to open or convert them properly.

How do you open BM_ files?

You need a suitable software like PCPaint to open a BM_ file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your BM_ file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a BM_ file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
