Why should I convert WEBP to WBMP?

Converting WEBP to WBMP is useful for environments needing extremely small, simple, monochrome images with minimal CPU and memory usage, such as legacy mobile devices or low-bandwidth wireless clients.

Will the color or animation in my WEBP file be preserved after conversion?

No, WBMP supports only static, 1-bit monochrome images. Color, grayscale, transparency, and animations from WEBP will not be retained.

Can WBMP files be used on modern smartphones and browsers?

WBMP is largely obsolete and has limited support on modern smartphones and browsers, being designed primarily for early mobile devices and WAP applications.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts WEBP images, a modern and versatile format, into WBMP files, a simple monochrome bitmap format used mainly for early mobile devices and low-bandwidth applications.

How to Use This Tool?

Upload your WEBP image file to the converter.
Select WBMP as the output format.
Click the convert button to start the conversion.
Download the resulting WBMP file to your device.

Key Features

Convert WEBP images to WBMP monochrome bitmaps.
Preserve tiny file size suitable for resource-constrained devices.
Support conversion for static black-and-white images only.
Browser-based and easy to use without complex installations.

Examples

Convert a WebP website logo into a 1-bit WBMP icon for an operator-branded feature-phone menu.
Create monochrome thumbnails from WebP images for delivery on legacy low-bandwidth WAP services.

Common Use Cases

Generating small black-and-white icons or logos from modern WebP images for legacy mobile web pages.
Embedding simple operator images or graphics in low-bandwidth WAP push content.
Creating static, monochrome resource images for firmware or low-power devices requiring minimal processing.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion when extreme simplicity and minimal file size are more important than color or detail.
Prepare source images with clear contrast to improve visual results in monochrome output.
Remember that animated or color content will be lost during conversion.

Limitations

WBMP supports only 1-bit monochrome output – all color, grayscale, and transparency are lost.
Animated WEBP files cannot be converted as WBMP is static and single-frame only.
Metadata such as EXIF or color profiles from WEBP are not retained in WBMP.
Visual detail is significantly reduced due to the format's low resolution and simplicity.
WBMP is largely obsolete and unsupported by most modern devices and browsers.

Key Terminology

WEBP: A modern image format developed by Google, supporting lossy and lossless compression, alpha transparency, and animation.
WBMP: A simple 1-bit monochrome image format defined by WAP for use in early mobile devices and low-bandwidth environments.
Lossy Compression: A compression method that reduces file size by removing some image data, potentially affecting quality.
