How to Convert XPM to ODD

STEP 1

Click inside the file drop area to upload your XPM file or drag & drop it.

Locate your XPM file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.

STEP 2

Select ODD as the output format and click the 'Convert' button.

Choose ODD based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.

STEP 3

Download the converted ODD file instantly after conversion.

Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your ODD file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.

STEP 4

You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

What is XPM (X PixMap)?

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.

How to open XPM?

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.

XPM is Developed by: Groupe Bull

XPM was Released on: 1989

How to convert XPM?

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.

What is ODD (OpenDocument Drawing)?

ODD (OpenDocument Drawing) is a file format used for vector drawings and diagrams in the OpenDocument format standard. It's most commonly associated with LibreOffice Draw and Apache OpenOffice Draw applications.

ODD files store vector graphics, text elements, and object information in an XML-based format, making them portable across different platforms and applications that support the OpenDocument standard.

These files can contain multiple pages of drawings, diagrams, flowcharts, and other vector-based illustrations, with support for layers, text, and embedded objects.

How to open ODD?

ODD files can be opened directly with LibreOffice Draw and Apache OpenOffice Draw, which offer full editing capabilities.

Some other vector graphics programs may offer limited support for ODD files through import filters or plugins.

If you don't have these applications installed, you can use LibreOffice Online or other web-based OpenDocument viewers for quick access to the content.

ODD is Developed by: OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards)

ODD was Released on: 2005

How to convert ODD?

To convert ODD files to other formats like PDF, SVG, or PNG, use our online converter that preserves the vector quality and layout of your drawings.

LibreOffice Draw and OpenOffice Draw also offer export options to common formats including PDF, SVG, PNG, and JPG directly from their applications.

When converting to raster formats like PNG or JPG, consider specifying a high resolution to maintain the quality of detailed drawings.

Q: How do I convert a transparent PNG to a JPG?

A: Since JPGs don’t support transparency, the transparent parts of a PNG will turn white or black in the converted image. If you need transparency, consider staying with PNG or switching to formats like WebP.

Q: Why do my converted images look pixelated?

A: Pixelation happens when an image is resized or converted to a lower-resolution format. To avoid this, choose a high-resolution source image and a format that supports better quality.

Q: What are the limitations of converting images to vector formats?

A: Converting raster images (like JPEG or PNG) to vector formats (like SVG or EPS) works best with simple, high-contrast images. Complex images with lots of details may not convert well into vectors, as vector files work better with clean, geometric shapes.

Q: What happens if my image is too large to upload?

A: If your image is too large to upload, consider reducing the file size using image compression tools or resizing the image before uploading. RunConvert supports file sizes up to a few hundred MB, but larger images might face upload limitations.

Q: How do I know if my image is compatible with RunConvert?

A: Our platform supports most major image formats like JPG, PNG, BMP, and more. If you're not sure about your image’s format, simply try uploading it, and we’ll let you know if it’s supported.

Q: How do I know if my image format is supported?

A: You can always check the supported formats list on our website or within the conversion tool itself. RunConvert supports most common image formats like JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, BMP, GIF, and more, so it’s very likely your format is supported.
