Convert SFW to WBMP

The SFW file extension stands for Seattle FilmWorks Image, a proprietary bitmap image format created by Seattle FilmWorks, a company specializing in film processing and digital imaging. Although the company is now defunct, SFW files can still be viewed using specific software or converted to standard formats like JPEG. This format is not widely supported by modern image editing software.

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.
