Convert HEIC to WBMP

The High Efficiency Image Container (HEIC) is a file extension used to store images and image sequences, leveraging the High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF). Developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and introduced in 2015, HEIC files are acclaimed for their superior compression efficiency, which allows for high-quality images at smaller file sizes. This format is widely used in modern digital devices, including smartphones and cameras, to optimize storage capacity without compromising image quality. It supports advanced features such as live photos, burst photo sequences, and transparent images, making it integral for contemporary digital imaging solutions.

WBMP, or Wireless Bitmap, is a monochrome graphics file format specifically designed for wireless devices, such as mobile phones and PDAs. It was introduced as part of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) standard to facilitate the display of simple images on limited display screens of early mobile devices. The format is highly optimized for low-bandwidth environments and supports only black and white colors to minimize data transmission requirements. WBMP files are compact and easy to process, making them ideal for the constrained resources of early wireless communications technology. WBMP played a crucial role in the early days of mobile web browsing by enabling basic graphical content on devices with minimal graphical capabilities.
