Wireless Application Protocol Bitmap Format
open-in-new
<p>Wireless Application Protocol Bitmap Format (shortened to Wireless Bitmap and with file extension .wbmp) is a <a href="/facts/Raster_graphics/HkXNc8oI">raster</a> <a href="/facts/Image_file_format/tLGQogv3">image file format</a> optimized for early <a href="/facts/Mobile_computing/eHT86bQU">mobile computing</a> devices. </p><p>WBMP images are <a href="/facts/Monochrome/CMCsjH2N">monochrome</a> black and white <a href="/facts/Binary_image/qaKaPntY">binary images</a> in which a black pixel is denoted by 0 and a white pixel is denoted by 1. The simple pixel encoding and the small size of the <a href="/facts/File_header/DSbn3tM1">file header</a> mean that the file size is kept to a minimum, enabling fast transmission on slow networks. </p>
