| Overview |
| This file extension is capable of storing only monochromatic images that are black and white. This format has become now outdated and it was used by early mobile phones for exchanging and storing the monochromatic pictures that were sent using SMS messaging service. The successor to this is PNG which supports colours. As mobile phones have come up with improved and enhanced features that is why this format has been largely replaced by full-colour image and video formats. This extension has many likenesses with BMP files that is the standard bitmap images. WBMP does not support grayscale images as well as colour images. The size of the file is small and is always kept in reduced size. |
| Technical description |
| In this WBMP format, pictures are created by using pixels in which 0 (zero) is assigned to black pixel and 1 (one) is for a white pixel. There are certain fields which are present in this file extension. The field names are as follows along with their purpose. The first one is type, it tells about the type of an image and zero is fixed for monochrome bitmaps. The next is a fixed header and it is always reserved with 0 value. Then comes the width and this defines the breadth of an image in pixels. The second last is the height and it represents the height of a photo in pixels. The last one is data and it tells about the data bytes arranged in rows. |

| Overview |
| This extension is particularly used to store Raster images. It was developed for the first graphic cards so that they can provide support to high colour or true colour displays. This group aimed at professional computer image synthesis and also at video editing in personal computers. Every colour which is available is defined with the help of palette. TARGA stands for Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics adapter and TGA is an initial for this adapter. This file format is quite popular in animation as well as video industry. The size of the files is large due to the characterization each pixel of an image by a particular number of bits. Depending upon the situation, data can be compiled using a lossless RLE (Run-length encoding) compression or can be stored in raw form as well. It should be noted that this compression is suitable only for icons, cartoons and line drawings not for photographic images. |
| Technical description |
| TGA is capable of storing photos of 8,16,24 and 32 bits of accuracy per pixel. In addition to this, 24 bits of RGB and 8- bit for alpha channel. Furthermore, it only contains an 18-byte header which is followed by image data. A header in it consists of ID length, colour map type, image type, colour map specification and image specification. Image ID can store any kind of information but generally, it either has a date and time the image was created or a serial number. There can be optional sections as well like developer area, extension area and file footer; etc in order to add extra information. |
