Why Convert WBMP to SVG?

WBMP (Wireless Bitmap) files are a relic from early mobile computing. These 1-bit monochrome images were designed for feature phones and PDAs with limited displays. If you have WBMP files from legacy systems, converting them to SVG gives you scalable, resolution-independent graphics that work everywhere.

In our testing, WBMP to SVG conversion works particularly well because both formats can represent simple black and white graphics efficiently. The resulting SVG files scale perfectly to any size without pixelation.

How to Convert WBMP to SVG

  1. Upload your WBMP file - Drag and drop or click to select your wireless bitmap image
  2. Confirm SVG output - SVG is selected as the vector target format
  3. Download your SVG - Your scalable vector graphic is ready to use

The conversion happens instantly in your browser. No software installation required.

WBMP vs SVG: Technical Comparison

Understanding these formats helps you know what to expect from the conversion:

FeatureWBMPSVG
Format TypeRaster (bitmap)Vector (XML-based)
Color Support1-bit (black/white only)Full color spectrum
ScalabilityFixed resolution, pixelates when enlargedInfinite scaling without quality loss
File SizeVery small (designed for slow networks)Small for simple graphics
Browser SupportVery limitedUniversal in modern browsers
EditabilityRequires specialized softwareEdit in any text or vector editor

The conversion traces the monochrome pixels into vector paths, producing clean SVG output that matches your original WBMP design.

When to Use This Conversion

Archiving Legacy Mobile Graphics

If you have WBMP icons, logos, or graphics from early WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) projects, converting to SVG preserves them in a modern format. SVG files are future-proof and supported by all current systems.

Web Development

SVG is the standard for web icons and simple graphics. Converting your WBMP assets to SVG makes them usable in modern websites with perfect scaling on retina displays.

Print and Design Work

Vector formats like SVG can be scaled to any size for print. A converted WBMP logo can be used on business cards or billboards without quality loss.

What to Expect from the Conversion

Since WBMP files are strictly monochrome (1-bit black and white), your resulting SVG will also be black and white. The conversion process traces the bitmap pixels into vector paths.

For simple graphics like icons and logos, the results are excellent. Complex images with many details may produce larger SVG files with more path data. If you need alternative outputs, consider WBMP to PNG for raster images or BMP to SVG for similar bitmap-to-vector conversions.

Alternative Formats

Depending on your use case, other target formats might work better:

  • PNG - If you need a raster image with transparency support and wider compatibility with older systems
  • JPG - For photographs or when you need maximum compatibility (though not ideal for monochrome graphics)
  • EPS - If you need vector output for professional print workflows

For web use and modern applications, SVG remains the best choice for simple graphics like icons and logos.

Browser-Based Conversion

Our converter works entirely in your browser:

  • Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook
  • Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
  • iPhone, iPad, Android devices

No downloads or installations needed. Convert your WBMP files wherever you have internet access.

Pro Tip

After converting WBMP to SVG, you can easily add color to your graphics. Open the SVG in a text editor and change the fill values from black (#000000) to any color you need. This transforms simple monochrome icons into full-color assets.

Common Mistake

Expecting high-detail photographs to convert well. WBMP files are designed for simple graphics. Complex images with many tonal variations will produce SVG files with excessive path data. For such cases, PNG may be a better target format.

Best For

Converting legacy mobile icons, logos, and simple graphics from archived WAP projects into modern, scalable web assets that work on all devices and screen resolutions.

Not Recommended

Do not use this conversion if you need a raster output for software that does not support SVG. In such cases, convert to PNG instead. Also avoid if the original WBMP contains complex detail that would be better preserved as pixels.

Frequently Asked Questions

WBMP (Wireless Bitmap) is a monochrome image format developed for early mobile phones and PDAs. It only supports black and white pixels (1-bit color depth) and was designed for slow wireless networks and limited device displays.

No. WBMP files are strictly black and white (1-bit monochrome), so your converted SVG will also be black and white. The conversion preserves the original image data without adding colors that were not present.

Yes. SVG is a vector format, meaning it uses mathematical paths rather than pixels. You can scale SVG files to any size, from tiny icons to billboard-sized graphics, without any pixelation or quality loss.

WBMP files are typically found in legacy mobile application archives, old WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) projects, or archived content from early 2000s mobile development. Some organizations preserve these files as historical records.

Yes. Simple icons and logos convert very well from WBMP to SVG. The monochrome nature of WBMP files actually makes them ideal candidates for vector tracing, producing clean, scalable results.

SVG file size depends on the complexity of the original image. Simple icons typically produce SVG files under 10KB. More complex images with many details may result in larger files due to the additional path data required.

Yes. SVG files are XML-based text files that can be edited in any text editor or vector graphics software like Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, or Figma. You can change colors, modify paths, or add new elements.

No. Modern browsers do not natively support WBMP files. Converting to SVG ensures your images can be viewed in any current web browser without requiring special plugins or software.

Yes. Our WBMP to SVG converter is completely free with no registration required. There are no watermarks added to your converted files and no limits on file size.

Yes. You can upload multiple WBMP files and convert them all to SVG in a single batch operation. This is helpful when converting entire collections of legacy mobile graphics.
