About XBM files
XBM (X BitMap) is a monochrome graphic image format used by the X Window System. It was originally designed for the X Window System, but is now used in many other applications. XBM files are composed of a text header followed by a bitmap of 1s and 0s. The header contains information about the image, such as its size, the number of colors, and the color palette. XBM files are typically smaller than other image formats, such as JPEG and PNG, but they are not as widely supported.
XBM files can be converted to other image formats using software such as IrfanView, GIMP, and ImageMagick. These programs can convert XBM files to formats such as JPEG, PNG, GIF, and TIFF. However, there are some important considerations when converting XBM files. The colors in the image may be distorted due to the limited color palette of XBM files. Additionally, some of the image's detail may be lost in the conversion process, as XBM files are not as high-resolution as other formats.
Due to the drawbacks of XBM files, it is often preferable to convert them to other formats. Fortunately, this can be done easily and for free using the website Convert.Guru. Convert.Guru supports a wide range of image formats, including XBM, and can quickly and easily convert XBM files to other formats. Additionally, Convert.Guru offers a variety of other features, such as image editing, image resizing, and image optimization.
The XBM Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best XBM converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
