.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 TIFF format was developed by the company Aldus in 1986, which was later acquired by Adobe systems who now own the rights on the format specification. TIFF, which refers to the Tagged Image File Format, is a raster graphics file format popularly used in desktop publishing and print. Its initial development goal was to create an alternative and cross platform format that would replace the numerous proprietary formats used by scanners developed in the 80's. Later revisions, after Adobe took over the development of the format, saw the TIFF format become extensible to adapt with growing and changing needs of the graphics industry. TIFF supports high color depth and is well suited to OCR applications, scanning, image editing and authoring as well as word processing. The format uses the filename extension .tiff for files stored in the format.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for WBMP to TIFF 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 TIFF 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 TIFF 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.
The original version of the TIFF format had no support for compression but by the 5th release of the format, LZW compression (a lossless compression algorithm) was supported. However, the format can also be used to store data in a lossless format without compression. This cannot be done though if the TIFF file is acting as an archive for JPEG data which is inherently lossy. TIFF supports monochrome, grayscale, palette color, and full true color.
