Convert PWP to MONO

The PWP file extension stands for PhotoWorks Image File, associated with the PhotoWorks software developed by Seattle FilmWorks. Primarily used in the late 1990s and early 2000s for storing color images, PWP files are similar to SFW files and were commonly used for image downloads from the internet. Although the software is now discontinued, PWP files can be converted to standard JPG images using specific converters.

The MONO file extension stands for "Monochrome Bitmap" and is used for storing raw bi-level bitmap images, which are essentially black-and-white images without any color or grayscale. This format is primarily utilized in applications requiring simple, high-contrast images, such as fax transmissions and certain types of document scanning. The MONO format, characterized by its least-significant-byte first order, has been supported by various image processing tools. Its history traces back to early bitmap graphics needs, emphasizing simplicity and efficiency in image storage and processing.
