Why convert WBK to BMP?
A WBK file is the backup copy Microsoft Word saves when “Always create backup copy” is switched on, holding the previous saved version of a document. The BMP shows each page of the backed-up document with its text, styles, tables and pictures, laid out on the page size it was saved with.
BMP stores every pixel uncompressed, so the image is exact and simple to read by any software that handles Windows bitmaps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert WBK to BMP?
Drop your WBK file above and press Convert. Our servers open the backup as a Word document in LibreOffice, export its pages to a PDF and render each page as an image. The result is saved as an uncompressed BMP bitmap, ready to download.
Which version of the document does a WBK show in the BMP?
A WBK holds the version of the document from before its most recent save, so the BMP shows the document exactly as it stood at that point.
Is a WBK read as a Word document for the BMP?
Yes. The backup is opened as a Word .doc file by LibreOffice, which lays out its text, styles, tables and pictures before each page is rendered as a BMP.
What happens when a WBK file fills several BMP pages?
Each page is rendered at 144 dpi and saved as its own BMP image, named page-1, page-2 and so on, and they download together as one ZIP. A single page downloads as one BMP file.
What kind of BMP does the WBK converter create?
A standard Windows bitmap with every pixel stored uncompressed, so the image is an exact copy of the rendered result.
Is my .wbk file kept private?
Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted on our servers and deleted automatically within 24 hours. We never read, share or keep your files, and no account is needed.
