What is a CPBITMAP file?
A CPBITMAP file is a wallpaper or lock screen image used by an iOS device, such as an iPhone or iPad. It is saved in a proprietary format used only by iOS. As such, image viewers and editors cannot open CPBITMAP files.
More Information
When you set an image as your iOS wallpaper or lock screen, the operating system creates a copy of that image and converts it to the CPBITMAP format. This allows iOS to load the image more efficiently at startup and whenever you view your home or lock screen.
Common CPBITMAP Filenames
HomeBackground.cpbitmap - The name iOS assigns to your wallpaper image.
LockBackground.cpbitmap - The name iOS assigns to your lock screen image.

How to convert a CPBITMAP file
You can use the following utilities to convert CPBITMAP files to other formats:
- CPBitmap.github.io (Web)
- CPBitmap File Converter (Web)
- CPBitmap-to-PNG (multiplatform)
For example, CPBitmap.github.io can convert CPBITMAP files to the .PNG, .JPEG, and .TIFF formats.
Note, however, that if your CPBITMAP file is encrypted or saved in an unsupported format, these utilities will not be able to convert your file.
