Frequently asked questions
What does a photo look like after converting JPEG to WBMP?
WBMP is a 1-bit monochrome format, meaning each pixel is either black or white with no gray or color. A photograph is reduced to a stark black-and-white (often dithered) image, which is a major loss of detail.
Why would I convert a JPEG to WBMP?
WBMP was designed for the limited displays of early WAP mobile devices, so it is used mainly for compatibility with that kind of legacy monochrome target. It is not a general-purpose image format today.
Where can WBMP files be opened?
Support is limited to specialized and older imaging tools rather than mainstream photo viewers or browsers. For any normal use the image is better kept or converted as PNG or JPG.
How small is a WBMP file?
Because it stores just one bit per pixel, a WBMP is very small, but that size comes from throwing away all color and tonal information. The lost detail cannot be recovered from the WBMP.
