| Description | WBMP, short for Wireless Bitmap, is an application protocol specifically designed for processing raster images in wireless environments. Files with the .wbmp extension typically store black and white raster images.
The WBMP format was developed to optimize the storage and transmission of images in conditions with limited bandwidth and display capabilities of mobile devices.
WBMP images find wide application in a range of mobile phones and other mobile devices. |
| Technical details | In the WBMP format, monochrome images consist of individual pixels, each represented by a numerical value. The value '0' is reserved for white pixels, while the value '1' represents black pixels. This binary representation ensures compact storage and fast rendering of monochrome images on mobile devices.
By utilizing a simple binary representation of black and white pixels, WBMP files enable efficient storage and transmission of monochrome images. This makes them well-suited for mobile applications with limited resources and displays capable of rendering only black and white images.
WBMP images find application in various areas, including mobile phone interfaces, mobile games, mobile websites, and other wireless applications. Due to their small file size and compatibility with mobile devices, WBMP files are commonly used for transmitting simple graphics and icons in mobile user interfaces. |
