Wireless Application Protocol Bitmap Format (shortened to Wireless Bitmap and with file extension .wbmp) is a raster image file format optimized for early mobile computing devices.

WBMP images are monochrome black and white binary images 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 file header mean that the file size is kept to a minimum, enabling fast transmission on slow networks.[1]
