How do I convert JPG to XBM using this tool?

Upload your JPG file, select XBM as the output format, and click Convert. The tool applies a luminance threshold to create a 1-bit monochrome bitmap, preserving the original resolution. Download the resulting .xbm file, which contains the image as C-style byte arrays for direct integration into X11 or embedded projects.

Why should I convert a JPG image to XBM format?

XBM is a text-based bitmap format used in X11 and Unix-like systems for icons and cursors. Converting JPG to XBM creates a compact, monochrome binary that can be embedded directly into C code, reducing file size by over 90% and enabling use in environments with limited color or storage, such as embedded Linux or microcontrollers.

What happens to the image quality and attributes when converting from JPG to XBM?

Resolution and dimensions are retained exactly, but color depth is reduced to 1-bit (black/white). Pixels are mapped using a threshold or dithering algorithm, so gradient and color detail are lost. XBM has no transparency support—white pixels become transparent in many X11 renderers, while black remains opaque. No layers or metadata are preserved.
