There’s only one thing that makes a difference in the everyday usage of an operating system, and that is convenience. As it turns out, you can still create bitmap images using context menus in Windows 11. Why? Because it’s convenient.
Creating bitmap images, or BMP files has never been easier. You can create bitmap images using Windows 11’s context menu, or the new options that come with the new Windows Explorer. Let us see how to do the same.
Creating Bitmap Files On Windows 11
Before we begin, why is there a need to create bitmap files easily? How exactly is it convenient? Earlier, the user had to go to Start Menu > Accessories > Paint just to open the program that edits BMP files. And, not everyone was used to that. Therefore, this was injected here.
Create BMP files using Context Menu
Here’s how you can create a bitmap file in the folder of your choice.
1. Firstly, open the folder you want the file to be in.
2. Right-click on the empty space inside the folder to open the context menu.
3. Hover over the “New item” button.
4. Click on the option that reads “Bitmap image“
5. Finally, the bitmap image is now created. Open it with your desired application.
Create BMP files using Windows Explorer
Alternatively, you can make use of the new Windows Explorer redesign which offers an easy way to create new files.
1. Firstly, open the folder you want the file to be in.
2. On the top options pane, click on the drop-down menu icon on the New Folder button.
3. Click on the option that reads “New item.”
4. Further, choose Bitmap image from the list.
5. Finally, the bitmap image is now created. Open it with your desired application.
It’s now as easy as that to create bitmap images in Windows 11.
