Convert ICON to WBMP

An ICON file, an abbreviation for Icon Image File, is primarily used in Microsoft Windows operating systems to represent graphical icons. These files are essential for visually identifying applications, files, and folders, enhancing user experience through graphical representation. ICON files support multiple sizes and color depths, ensuring compatibility and visual clarity across different display settings. Introduced in the early versions of Windows, ICON files have evolved to accommodate higher resolutions and color variations, aligning with advancements in display technology. Their primary function is to provide a quick, intuitive visual reference for software and system elements.

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.
