What file formats do you support?

We support over 100 file formats including images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT), videos (MP4, AVI, MOV), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC), and many more specialized formats.

Yes, absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all file transfers. Your files are automatically deleted from our servers after conversion, and we never store or access your personal data.

What is the maximum file size?

The maximum file size for free users is 100MB per file. Premium users can convert files up to 1GB. For larger files, we recommend our batch processing feature.

How long does conversion take?

Most files convert in under 30 seconds. The exact time depends on file size and format complexity. Our advanced algorithms ensure the fastest possible conversion while maintaining quality.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes! Our batch processing feature allows you to upload and convert up to 50 files simultaneously. This is perfect for bulk conversions and saves significant time.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required for basic conversions. However, creating a free account gives you access to batch processing, file history, and priority support.

Why Choose Our Converter?

Quick, browser-based JPG to XBM conversion for embedded monochrome graphics and legacy device workflows

Fast Local Conversion

Convert JPGs to XBM in-browser without uploads for minimal latency and immediate download.

Predictable Output

Deterministic rasterization to monochrome XBM with configurable dithering yields consistent visual results.

Batch Friendly

Process multiple JPGs in a single operation and export results as individual XBM files or a ZIP archive.

Legacy Device Support

Produces plain-text XBM suitable for C headers and old display drivers used in embedded systems.

Control Dithering

Adjust threshold or Floyd–Steinberg dithering to balance edge clarity and perceived detail in monochrome.

Client-Side Privacy

All processing runs in the browser memory; source JPGs are not uploaded to external servers.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare JPG for Binarization

Increase JPG contrast to enhance black/white separation before converting to XBM
Sharpen JPG edges to preserve line art detail when reduced to 1-bit
Resize JPG to target XBM dimensions to avoid subsampling artifacts
Convert JPG to grayscale first to neutralize color-based threshold shifts
Strip heavy compression by re-saving a higher-quality JPG prior to binarization

Optimize XBM for Embedded Use

Match JPG canvas size to display buffer dimensions to avoid runtime scaling in firmware
Choose fixed row padding that your microcontroller expects to ensure correct rendering
Export XBM as C arrays when including directly into embedded source code
Verify byte order and bit orientation against the target display controller
Compress final XBM archive if flash storage is constrained; XBM itself is plain text

Validate Visual Fidelity

Preview converted XBM at actual device resolution to check recognizability
Compare source JPG and XBM at 1:1 zoom to evaluate dithering effectiveness
Test different threshold values and dithering algorithms to find optimal mapping
Inspect near-edge contrast to ensure icons remain legible after binarization
Run a quick on-target display test to confirm expected black/white polarity

Workflow Reliability & Privacy

Keep original JPGs archived so you can reprocess with different thresholds
Process batches in 20–50 files to reduce browser memory spikes during conversion
Use client-side processing to prevent sensitive image upload for proprietary designs
Document chosen dithering and threshold settings for reproducible builds
Promptly download and store generated XBM files to avoid local data loss

Fast Processing

Close unused tabs for maximum throughput.

Client-Side Privacy

No media leaves your device.

Broad Compatibility

Output files work across all operating systems.

Pro Tip

For batch conversions, process in groups of 20-50 files to optimize memory usage and avoid browser slowdowns.
