You can also save to any of these formats (except for ICO). One of Bitmap's key abilities is its support for conversion to and from platform-specific bitmap objects.

You can also import a WriteableBitmap as afragment into the existing C1Bitmap, or create a new C1Bitmap from the given instance of SoftwareBitmap. See C1Bitmap features and samples
