About WB1 files
The .wb1 extension represents a collision between two distinct legacy file formats from the 1990s and early 2000s.
Webshots Pictures: Frequently, a .wb1 file is a proprietary image container used by the discontinued Webshots Desktop application. These files store high-resolution wallpaper images and screensavers. Unlike standard JPG or PNG files, they are encoded (often XOR-scrambled) to prevent direct access outside the Webshots software. Users cannot simply open them in modern viewers like Windows Photos or Adobe Photoshop without conversion.
Quattro Pro Spreadsheets: In a business data context, .wb1 refers to a workbook created by Borland Quattro Pro for Windows (specifically versions 1.0 and 5.0). While Quattro Pro is still maintained by Corel, modern spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel dropped support for the older .wb1 format years ago (post-Excel 2003). This is a major drawback for users attempting to recover historical financial data or tables.
Conversion Recommendations:
For Images: To view old Webshots collections, convert .wb1 to JPG. This strips the proprietary container, making the image compatible with all web browsers and mobile devices.
For Spreadsheets: To preserve formulas and cell formatting, convert .wb1 to XLSX (Excel) or ODS (OpenDocument). If you only need the raw data, converting to CSV avoids compatibility errors entirely.

The WB1 Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our WB1 converter.
