What is WB1 file?
The file with the extension WB1 is the Raster Image Files file type. It was designed by AG Interactive. Additionally, the Raster Image Files category contains 522 of other files. Webshots Picture Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. It is recommended to use XnView to handle this file. This is a program created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet. This file type can also be opened by 4 other programs. The Image Converter Plus, Webshots programs will also handle the file when the XnView program does not fulfill its role.
How to open WB1 file?
An often recurring problem with Webshots Picture Format is that WB1 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file WB1 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WB1 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install XnView
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XnView is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name XnView into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open WB1 files.
Programs to open WB1 file
Remember to download programs supporting WB1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with WB1 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WB1 file still does not use the XnView program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WB1 file with the XnView program.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, despite the association of the XnView program with the Webshots Picture Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WB1 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the WB1 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WB1 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WB1 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WB1 file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WB1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact AG Interactive
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WB1 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move WB1 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
