How It Works

How to Convert XPM to PS

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 PS as the output format and click the 'Convert' button.

Choose PS 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 PS file instantly after conversion.

Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your PS 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.

Q: Can I convert a photo into a black-and-white version?

A: You can convert your image to black-and-white by choosing to change its color format before or after the conversion. Just keep in mind, our platform focuses mainly on format conversion, so for more detailed edits, a photo editor might be the way to go.

Q: How do I convert a photo to a vector graphic?

A: To convert a photo to a vector graphic, you need to use a process called vectorization, which is typically done using specialized software. While RunConvert can help you convert raster photos to vector formats like SVG or EPS, the quality may vary depending on the complexity of the image.

Q: How do I convert a screenshot to a different format?

A: Converting a screenshot is just as easy as any other image! Upload your screenshot in its current format (like PNG or JPEG) and choose the output format you want, whether that's a different image format or even a PDF or Word document.

Q: Can I convert a photo to a sepia tone or other filter?

A: While RunConvert doesn’t offer built-in photo editing tools like filters, you can apply filters or effects like sepia tone using photo editing software before uploading your image to RunConvert for conversion to your desired format.

Q: Will converting an image reduce its quality?

A: It depends on the format you're converting to. Some formats like JPEG are lossy and may reduce quality during conversion, while formats like PNG and TIFF preserve image quality. Always check the settings if quality is a concern.

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?

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 PS (PostScript)?

PS (PostScript) is a page description language developed by Adobe that describes the appearance of text, graphics, and images on a printed page. It was revolutionary in desktop publishing and printing industries.

Unlike EPS, which is a single graphic, PS files can contain multiple pages and are primarily used for printing documents rather than for embedding graphics into other documents.

PostScript files contain programming instructions that describe precisely how text and graphics should appear on a page, enabling consistent reproduction across different printers and devices.

How to open PS?

PS files can be viewed and printed using software like Adobe Acrobat Distiller, Ghostscript with GSview, or PostScript viewers.

For macOS users, Preview can open many PostScript files, rendering them for on-screen viewing.

Some professional printing software packages also support direct import and processing of PostScript files.
