Features of XBM Format:
- Plain Text Format：XBM (X BitMap) is a bitmap format based on C language source code that can be directly embedded into code
- Monochrome bitmap：Supports only black and white (1-bit depth), ideal for icons and simple graphics
- Uncompressed：Files are stored as hexadecimal arrays, making them easy to read and modify programmatically
- Cross-platform compatibility：Widely used in the X Window graphical interface on Unix/Linux systems
Features:
- Supports batch conversion of multiple images to XBM format
- Customizable binarization threshold (0-255) for precise black-and-white conversion control
- Supports popular image formats including PNG, GIF, JPG, BMP, TIFF, and WebP
- Displays real-time conversion progress and file size information
- Automatically converts color images to black-and-white monochrome bitmaps
Use Cases:
- Embedded system development, such as icons for Arduino, ESP32, and other microcontroller displays
- Cursor and icon creation for Unix/Linux systems
- Sprite and bitmap font design in game development
- Scenarios requiring direct embedding of image data into code
- Retro-style graphic design and pixel art creation
Operation Steps:
- Select one or more images to convert
- Adjust the binarization threshold slider (recommended to start from 128)
- Click the "Start Conversion" button
- Wait for the upload and conversion to complete
- Click "Download Image" to get the converted XBM file
Note:The threshold is set to 128 by default, which is the midpoint. If the original image is dark, you can lower the threshold; if it is bright, you can raise it. The XBM format generates a C language header file, which can be used directly in embedded projects.
