In the world of digital images, there are many different file formats, each with its own characteristics and uses. Common formats like JPG and PNG are widely used, while lesser-known formats like WBMP (Wireless Bitmap) serve specific needs. Convertio is a user-friendly online tool that helps you easily convert from various image formats to WBMP.

What is WBMP?

WBMP, also known as Wireless Bitmap, is a monochrome image format that was designed specifically for mobile devices. It stores images using only two colors, black and white. This simplicity makes WBMP files small and efficient, making them suitable for older mobile phones with limited processing power and screen capabilities. With the advent of high-resolution displays, the use of WBMP has declined, although it is still used in certain situations such as e-reader displays and simple icons. 

Image to WBMP Converter

Convertio is a powerful online file conversion platform that supports multiple formats including image conversion. Here's how it can become your go-to tool for converting various image formats to WBMP:

Supported input formats:

• JPG to WBMP: Converts JPG images, commonly used for photographs and web graphics, to their black and white WBMP counterparts.
• PNG to WBMP: PNG images, known for lossless compression and transparency, can be converted to WBMP. Transparency is lost during conversion, while image data is preserved in black and white.
• JPEG to WBMP: JPEG is synonymous with JPG, so the conversion works the same as JPG to WBMP.
• WEBP to WBMP: WEBP, known for its better compression, can be converted to WBMP. The conversion loses color information, resulting in a black and white WBMP file.
• SVG to WBMP: SVG, Scalable Vector Graphics, is not directly compatible with WBMP because it is vector-based. They are unsuitable for converting to raster formats such as WBMP.
• ICO to WBMP: Icon files (ICO) can be converted to WBMP. Note that the conversion may affect the performance of the original ICO, as WBMP does not support many resolutions or color depths.
• HEIC to WBMP: HEIC, popular for its excellent compression, can be converted to WBMP. The conversion loses color information, resulting in a black and white WBMP file.
• AI to WBMP: AI, Adobe Illustrator's native format, cannot be directly converted to WBMP. As with SVG, AI files are not compatible with the raster-based WBMP format.
