Convert WBMP to HRZ

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.

The HRZ file extension is associated with Slow Scan Television (SSTV), a method used by amateur radio operators to transmit still images via radio waves. HRZ files store images rendered from SSTV audio signals, typically as 256x240 pixel RGB bitmaps. These files can be viewed using software like XnViewMP or Logipole Konverter. SSTV allows for the transmission of images over high-frequency bands using single-sideband modulation (SSB). The HRZ format is not widely produced by specific programs, but several image viewers support it.
