How do I convert PNG to XBM?

Upload your PNG to LetsConvert, select XBM as output, and click Convert. The tool reduces the image to a 1-bit monochrome bitmap, then generates a .xbm file with byte arrays. Download it and include it in your X11 or embedded C project.

Why should I use XBM instead of PNG?

PNG stores full color and transparency, which demands more memory and decoding overhead. XBM is a plain-text C source format designed for monochrome graphics in X11 and low-level embedded systems. Converting PNG to XBM significantly reduces file size and enables direct compilation into applications without runtime image decoding.

Does PNG to XBM conversion preserve transparency and resolution?

Resolution is fully preserved. Transparency is handled by an alpha threshold: pixels above the threshold become black, below become white; partial alpha is lost because XBM is 1-bit. Color and color profiles are discarded, and any layers or animations in the PNG are flattened.
