What is a WBZ file?

WBZ files mostly belong to Webshots Desktop. WBZ files serve more than one specialized purpose.
For most WBZ files, they are used as Webshots zipped images. This format contains compressed bitmap image data that is handled by Webshots Desktop.

The compression reduces file size while retaining the image content.

The file is optimized for quick display and sharing over the web.

Other WBZ files function as Wiimms BZIP2 archives. In this form, they package Wii game data into a compressed archive.

These archives bundle game data using BZIP2 compression.

The format is managed by Wiimms SZS Tools and may require a specific decompression utility.
