How do I convert an XPM file to PPM format?

Upload your XPM file to the converter, choose PPM as the output format, and click Convert. The tool will decode the XPM image, map its palette to RGB values, and generate a binary PPM (P6) file. You can download the result immediately.

Why should I convert XPM to PPM?

XPM is a text-based format used primarily for icons and cursors, often with transparency. PPM (Portable Pixmap) is a simple uncompressed raster format used in image processing pipelines, like Netpbm, and is easier to parse for custom scripts. Converting to PPM allows you to use XPM images in tools that don't support XPM.

What happens to transparency when converting XPM to PPM?

PPM format does not support transparency or an alpha channel. The conversion will discard the transparency mask and render transparent areas as a solid color (usually black or white, depending on the background setting). All RGB color data from the XPM palette is preserved exactly.
