Convert WBMP files online for free
The converter easily converts your WBMP file to various formats - free and online. No Photoshop or extra software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Raster Image formats to WBMP with high quality output.
WBMP (Wireless Bitmap) is a legacy raster image format developed for the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), primarily used to display simple graphics on early mobile phones with monochrome screens. Unlike modern formats like JPG or PNG, a .WBMP file is strictly 1-bit, meaning every pixel is either black or white - no grayscale, no color, and no alpha transparency.
While highly efficient for the low-bandwidth networks of the early 2000s, this format is practically obsolete today. The primary difficulty for users is compatibility: modern web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari) no longer render .WBMP images natively, and standard OS viewers often fail to recognize the file header. Furthermore, because the format lacks compression algorithms found in GIF or PNG, the files are inefficient for storage despite their low color depth. To view or use these graphics on modern devices, the standard workflow is to convert them to PNG (to preserve the sharp, pixel-perfect edges) or JPG (for general compatibility). Advanced users might use tools like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP to upscale the tiny dimensions often found in these files, but convert.guru handles the format migration instantly.

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 WBMP converter.
