XPM to EPS Converter

XPM (X PixMap) is both an image file format and a C programming language library designed for creating icon pixmaps for the X Window System commonly used in Unix and Linux environments.

XPM files are unique in that they're actually C code text files that define images. They can be directly included in source code or compiled into programs, making them particularly useful for application development.

Despite being text-based, XPM supports color images with transparency and is commonly used for application icons, cursors, and small graphical elements in X11-based desktop environments.

XPM files can be opened with most Linux/Unix graphic applications like GIMP, ImageMagick, and XnView.

Since they're text files, XPM files can also be viewed and edited in any text editor, though this requires understanding the format's structure.

For Windows users, graphics programs like Paint.NET (with plugins), GIMP, and IrfanView can open XPM files after installation.

To convert XPM files to more widely supported formats like PNG, JPG, or ICO, use our online converter that maintains transparency and color information.

For developers needing to convert images to XPM for inclusion in their applications, our converter can transform standard image formats into properly formatted XPM code.

Batch conversion options are available for processing multiple XPM files simultaneously, saving time when working with icon libraries or application assets.

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a vector image format used in professional printing and design. It can contain both vector and bitmap components, making it versatile for complex graphics.

EPS files are self-contained, structured PostScript documents with a preview image that can be placed into other documents. They're commonly used for logos, illustrations, and other graphics that need to be scaled without losing quality.

The format supports both RGB and CMYK color models, making it suitable for both web and print design workflows.

EPS files can be opened and edited using professional graphic design software such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and Affinity Designer.

For viewing only, you can use Adobe Acrobat Reader, Preview on macOS, or specialized EPS viewers.

Many image editing programs like Adobe Photoshop can also import EPS files, though they may rasterize vector content upon import.

To convert EPS files to other formats like PDF, SVG, PNG, or JPG, use our online image converter. Simply upload your EPS file, select the desired output format, and start the conversion.

For best results when converting vector EPS files to raster formats, specify a high resolution to maintain image quality. Vector formats like SVG will preserve the scalability of EPS content.

Professional design software like Adobe Illustrator provides additional conversion options with fine control over output quality and characteristics.
