- Description
- The WBMP (Wireless Bitmap Image) file format is a monochrome graphics format optimized for mobile computing devices with limited display capabilities. It was developed for use in the early days of mobile internet to display images on mobile phones and other wireless devices with minimal processing power and storage. WBMP files contain bitmap images that are typically small and use a black and white color palette, making them highly efficient for fast loading times and minimal data usage.
- Based on HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding), the HEIF format is an image file container with one or multiple images and is the default image format for Apple Live Photos. It replaced the JPEG format as it's smaller in size and has lossless compression ensuring high-quality photos.
