.wbmp refers to the wireless application protocol bitmap monochrome graphics file format. The format was initially developed by the WAP forum which later become part of the open mobile alliance. WBMP files are optimized for mobile devices prior to the advent of smartphones and is categorized as a raster image file format. Mobile network services such as SMS and MMS on GSM carriers typically have compatible support for this format, allowing users to send graphics saved in this format.
The .ppm file extension is used for Portable PixMap format files and is intended to be an intermediate format that can be used in the development and conversion of other file formats. This format was specifically designed so that it could easily be exchanged between various platforms. It is very simple but not very storage efficient. Before the PPM format was introduced, Jef Poskanzer invented the PBM format in the year 1980 for transmission of monochrome bitmaps as ASCII text in email messages. He also developed a tool library for easy conversion of the PBM files to other graphical formats and vice versa. This library was called Pbmplus and was released in 1988. Later Poskanzer developed the PPM format along with the PGM format and the requisite tools that were added to Pbmplus.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for WBMP to PPM conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload WBMP files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized PPM results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent PPM audio with dependable progress tracking.
The wbmp file format only supports a color palette of black and white which aids in keeping file sizes at the minimum possible. Binary integers are used to differentiate pixels of opposing colors. The file structure consists of several fields including the type field which represent the type of image, a fixed header of 1 byte in size, a width and height field to define the pixel resolution of the file, and finally the data field which holds the image data.
A .ppm extension file comprises of two parts which include the header and the image related data. The header, in turn, is distributed into three parts that are demarcated by line feeds. The first line comprises of the magical PPM identifier which can either be P3 for the ASCII version or P6 for the binary version, and the next line has the image's height and width displayed in ASCII characters and the last line indicates the maximum color value of the pixels. The image data formatting is dependent on the magical identifier, given in the first line of the header. Each pixel consists of 3 decimal values ranging from 0 to the specified maximum value written in ASCII characters. The 0 in the decimal values denotes that the color is not present or is turned off and the maximum value denotes that the color is at its maximum level. Conventionally the image data is stored in a left to right and top to bottom order with each pixel being stored as a byte. The usual RGB (Red ñ Green ñ Blue) order is followed to store the components.
