About WBZ files
A .wbz file is primarily a Webshots Compressed Photo Pack or a Wiimms BZIP2 Archive.
Initially popularized by Webshots Desktop, the .WBZ format bundles multiple downloaded wallpapers or photos into a single compressed package. Alternatively, modding communities use the .WBZ extension via Wiimms SZS Tools to compress Nintendo game data - specifically custom tracks for Mario Kart Wii.
The Problem: The .WBZ format is highly proprietary and frustratingly limited. Webshots files rely on outdated desktop software that is no longer widely supported, leaving your archived photo memories completely inaccessible on modern devices or web browsers. Similarly, Wiimms archives require specialized, command-line modding tools to extract or edit, making them inaccessible to casual users.
The Solution: To recover images from an old Webshots pack for web or archiving, convert the .WBZ to standard JPG or PNG images. For game modding, extract or convert the archive back to standard SZS or ZIP files. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser - free, online, and without installing obsolete software.

The WBZ 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 WBZ converter.
