TGA to WBMP converter

TGA is a raster graphics file format developed by Truevision, Inc. It is primarily used for gaming purpose. It is a popular format for storing high-dynamic range content and intermediary frames for video production. TGA files come in uncompressed and compressed form and can be 8-bit or 16-bit. It can also contain 24-bit or 32-bit RGB color values.

A TGA file is composed of one or more Image Descriptors (ID), which contain information about the format and size of the image, as well as some other useful information such as bits per pixel, palette colors, etc. The TGA file format also supports various compression techniques such as RLE and ZIP compression.

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.
