About formats

RGBO is a raw pixel data format designation used by ImageMagick, the open-source image processing suite first released in 1990, representing images as a flat sequence of Red, Green, Blue, and Opacity (inverted alpha) sample values with no header, container, or compression. The RGBO channel ordering specifies that the fourth channel is opacity rather than alpha — where alpha represents transparency (0 = transparent, max = opaque), opacity represents the inverse (0 = opaque, max = transparent). This distinction matters in compositing pipelines where the mathematical convention for the fourth channel varies between systems: some compositing models work with alpha (transparency), while older conventions including portions of ImageMagick's internal processing historically used opacity. RGBO files contain raw sample data at a user-specified bit depth (8-bit, 16-bit, or floating-point per channel), with pixels stored in scanline order. Because there is no header, the image dimensions, bit depth, and endianness must be specified externally when reading the file — typically via ImageMagick command-line arguments. One advantage is direct compatibility with processing pipelines that use the opacity convention: RGBO eliminates the need for channel inversion when interfacing with systems that expect opacity rather than alpha, preventing subtle compositing errors that occur when transparency conventions are mixed. The format's raw-data nature provides another practical benefit — with no encoding overhead, RGBO data can be memory-mapped, processed with SIMD instructions, or piped between processes with minimal latency. RGBO is primarily used within ImageMagick processing chains and can be converted to any other format using ImageMagick's extensive format support.
Initial release: 1990
WBMP (Wireless Bitmap) is a monochrome (1-bit, black and white) image format defined as part of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) specification, developed by the WAP Forum (later consolidated into the Open Mobile Alliance) around 1998. The format was designed for the extremely constrained mobile devices of the late 1990s and early 2000s — phones with small monochrome screens, minimal processing power, and narrow bandwidth GSM data connections. WBMP uses the simplest possible encoding: a type identifier byte (always 0 for the only defined type), width and height encoded as multi-byte integers using a variable-length scheme, and the raw pixel data where each bit represents one pixel (0 for white, 1 for black) packed eight per byte. There is no compression, no metadata, and no color — the format is purely a minimal container for delivering small monochrome graphics to WAP-era mobile browsers. One advantage was extreme efficiency on constrained devices — WBMP images could be decoded with virtually zero CPU overhead and minimal memory, critical on early mobile hardware running at single-digit megahertz clock speeds. The tiny file sizes are another strength: a typical WBMP icon occupied just a few hundred bytes, practical for transfer over 9.6 kbps GSM data channels. While the WAP ecosystem has been entirely superseded by modern mobile web browsers capable of rendering full-color JPEG, PNG, and WebP images, WBMP files remain encountered in archived mobile content from that transitional era.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert RGBO to WBMP?

RGBO stores unstructured pixel values that most programs cannot interpret. Converting to WBMP packages the data into a format anyone can open.

What programs open WBMP files?

WBMP files can be opened in mobile browsers, XnView, IrfanView, and WAP-compatible devices and applications.

Can I convert RGBO to WBMP for free?

Yes, Convertio offers free RGBO to WBMP conversion. For heavy usage or larger data, premium subscriptions provide additional capacity.

What makes WBMP a good target format?

WBMP offers monochrome, extremely compact, mobile-oriented. It gives your raw RGBO data a proper structure that any image viewer or editor can handle.

Is my RGBO data safe during conversion?

Yes — uploaded data is processed securely and deleted immediately after conversion. Output files are removed from servers within 24 hours.

Can I convert RGBO to WBMP on my phone?

Yes — the converter works in mobile browsers on both Android and iOS. No app installation needed, just open the page and upload.
