TCR to WBMP conversion is the process of transforming a TCR (Psion TomeRaider/ChessBase compressed eBook image format commonly used for certain mobile e-book readers) file into a WBMP (Wireless Bitmap) image file optimized for monochrome displays and mobile devices. This conversion extracts the image/content from the TCR container, rasterizes or converts it to a 1-bit black-and-white bitmap, and repackages it as a WBMP for compatibility with legacy mobile clients and simple e-reader viewers.

TCR files typically use the image/tcr MIME type and are proprietary formats for certain handheld devices. WBMP uses the image/vnd.wap.wbmp MIME type and is a monochrome bitmap format designed for wireless application protocols. The conversion process involves encoding TCR images into the WBMP format using compatible codecs that maintain image clarity.
The WBMP (.WBMP) format is commonly used for ebook. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like TCR.
While specific technical details aren't available here, WBMP files generally serve the purpose of storing ebook effectively within their domain.

TCR is a less common image format often used by specific devices, while WBMP is a standardized bitmap format for wireless devices. WBMP files are monochrome and optimized for minimal file size, making them ideal for mobile applications. Converting from TCR to WBMP enhances usability across a broader range of devices and platforms.
Keep individual TCR pages under 1–2 MB where possible to speed conversion and reduce memory usage; WBMP outputs are typically much smaller since they are 1-bit.
To preserve legibility, use controlled dithering or adaptive thresholding when converting grayscale TCR content to WBMP; pure thresholding can lose midtone detail.
For many small images, batch conversion with consistent scaling and dithering settings ensures uniform appearance across pages and speeds up workflow.
Limitations: WBMP is strictly 1-bit (black-and-white) and does not support grayscale or color, so photographic detail will be lost compared with the original TCR content.
