How do I convert a JPG to XPM using this tool?

Upload your JPG, choose XPM as the target format, customize options like color depth or transparency (if available), click Convert, and download your XPM file. You can batch convert multiple files by selecting all JPGs at once.

Why convert from JPG to XPM?

JPG is a lossy photographic format without transparency, while XPM is an ASCII-based image format used in X11 and GTK applications. Converting JPG to XPM is useful for creating icons and UI elements for legacy Unix/Linux environments where XPM is natively supported, and for achieving pixel-art style with a transparent background.

How does the conversion handle attributes like transparency, resolution, and color?

JPG images store RGB data without an alpha channel. When converting to XPM, the tool quantizes colors to a max of 256 (due to XPM limitations) and discards EXIF metadata. Resolution is preserved, but DPI info is lost. Transparency is not carried over because JPG lacks it; however, if you specify a background color to be transparent, the tool can map that exact color to XPM's transparent pixel.

JPG-TO-XPM

Convert JPG to XPM for legacy X11 and embedded GUIs. XPM uses indexed color and transparency; JPG is lossy and opaque—so you get pixel-accurate, icon-ready files.
