'''MBM''' is shortened from Multi[[BitmapMultiBitMap<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |BitMap]]title=MBM file, 2 ways to open MBM files (2023) |url=https://datatypes.net/open-mbm-files |access-date=2023-03-16 |website=DataTypes.net |language=en}}</ref> which, as the name suggests, is a container for a set of [[bitmap]] images. The contained bitmaps are not stored verbatim. Rather, each one is stored with a modified bitmap header with no data compression or with 8-, 12-, 16-, or 24-bit [[Run-length_encodinglength encoding|RLE]] compression.
