JPEG to WBMP converter

JPEG is a standard digital image format that uses a type of data compression algorithm to reduce file size. This makes it ideal for web pages, email, and other online media. JPEG files are often identified by the .jpg or .jpeg file extensions. The JPEG format allows for images with millions of colors, though their resolution is usually somewhat lower than other image file types.

The JPEG standard can be adjusted to various levels, allowing the user to trade off image quality for better compression. As such, JPEG can be used in a variety of ways - from low quality display images to high-resolution photographs. JPEG also includes metadata support in the form of markers and comments that allow for photo capture data, descriptions and other information to be embedded in the image.

WBMP (Wireless Bitmap) is an image file format intended for use on the WAP (Wireless Application Protocol, a standard for sending data from mobile phones to the web) platform. It is the simplest monochrome image format with only black and white pixels. A WBMP file consists of minimal information in a very compact size.

Like all monochrome images, a WBMP file uses 1 bit per pixel, which makes it ideal for sending images to devices with limited or low-bandwidth connections. This image format is also supported by many of the major web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome.
