What to expect

  • JPEG has no transparency; transparent XPM pixels are filled with a solid background.
  • JPEG compression is lossy, so an icon's flat colors and sharp edges can gain artifacts, and every re-save degrades quality further.
  • The image stays at the source resolution; conversion adds no detail.

Frequently asked questions

How good does the result look?
JPEG uses lossy DCT compression, so the flat color areas and crisp edges typical of an icon can pick up visible ringing artifacts. The source XPM's exact pixels are not preserved.
Why convert XPM to JPEG?
JPEG is supported by every operating system and image app, while XPM is an X11-specific format. Converting makes the image openable anywhere without XPM support.
Where will the JPEG open?
JPEG opens natively in every OS image viewer, browser, and photo app with no extra software.
What is lost in the conversion?
JPEG has no alpha channel, so any transparent pixels in the XPM are flattened onto a solid background color. The indexed palette is also expanded to full RGB.
