Convert Webshots or Quattro Pro files (WB1) online for free
The converter easily converts your WB1 files to various formats - free and online. No Webshots & Quattro Pro or or other Raster Image software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Legacy Image or Spreadsheet" file type, you need software like Webshots & Quattro Pro or a similar tool.
The .WB1 file extension represents a direct collision between two entirely different legacy file formats from the 1990s and early 2000s. The most common variant is a Webshots Picture File, a proprietary image container used by the now-discontinued Webshots Desktop software to store high-resolution wallpapers and screensavers. Alternatively, a .wb1 file might be a Quattro Pro Spreadsheet created by early versions (1.0 to 5.0) of Borland's Quattro Pro, which is now maintained by Corel.
Both variants are notorious for severe modern compatibility limits. Webshots images are heavily restricted and often XOR-scrambled to prevent them from being opened outside the original ecosystem. You cannot simply view them in modern photo apps or edit them in software like Adobe Photoshop without stripping the proprietary container first. Similarly, the Quattro Pro .WB1 spreadsheet format is functionally obsolete. Modern spreadsheet software, including Microsoft Excel, permanently dropped support for .wb1 files over a decade ago, making historical financial data recovery a massive headache.
To actually use these files today, conversion is mandatory. If you are trying to recover old photos from Webshots, convert your file to JPG or PNG for guaranteed compatibility on the web, mobile devices, or modern archives. If you are dealing with a legacy spreadsheet, convert it to XLSX to retain formulas and formatting, or CSV if you just need the raw tabular data. Just drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing sketchy, discontinued legacy software.
